General practice video:
This video, aimed at general practice staff, introduces the importance of decarbonising primary care in the context of the NHS net zero ambition, providing resources and ideas on how this can be achieved in your own practice.
This video was initially developed for WP2.2 and played to our 12 case study practices to support the development of their green action plans.
View the list of resources mentioned in the video.
