CARBON REDUCTION
As well as being a recognised leader within the sector, and with a proven track record of success with over 40 schemes, the CEF also plays a major role as part of the new NHS Alliance – a values-led movement of people and organisations committed to building a sustainable, community-based health service. Launched on 1 December 2016, the Alliance embraces a wide range of professional sectors, and is focused on health inequalities and the practice of health creation. Neither professional body nor trade union, it is open-minded, people-centred, and solutions-focused.
The CEF foresees major potential for hospitals to work in ‘clusters’, and as part of district heating systems, when it comes to using, pooling, and re-selling energy to the grid.
is endless. There is a very real prospect of NHS Trusts becoming an integral part of the UK’s energy mix in the future, rather than just a disparate group of standalone energy-users. The collective capabilities of NHS Trusts together should, in future, allow the service to become a leader, rather than a follower, in energy-efficient infrastructure, ultimately providing the optimal opportunity to achieve best value for money.
Opportunity for Trusts to attend workshops this month Ahead of our launch of A Standards Guide: Carbon and Energy Saving for the Model Hospital, the Countess of Chester Hospital, the CEF Framework, and IHEEM,
‘‘
are offering all NHS Trusts the opportunity to apply for our annual carbon and energy-saving workshops. Six selected Trusts will be offered free feasibility works, energy and financial modelling, and bespoke, in-depth knowledge-based workshops with specialists from four leading energy companies. The workshops will take place at this month’s Hospital Innovations Conference and Exhibition, which is being held at Olympia, London from 25-26 April 2017. Four Trusts took part in the pilot process last October, and two have already used the knowledge gained to progress to cash-releasing schemes. To express an interest; or find out more, please email

This circa £15 million project linking Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital with its sister site at the Churchill Hospital by way of a district heating network pipe will provide guaranteed savings of c£2.2 million per annum for the next 25 years across both sites, and reduce carbon emissions by around 270,000 tonnes over the lifetime of the project
New video viewable online Our new video – created in partnership with the new NHS Alliance and ITN Productions, and introduced by news- reader and television presenter, Natasha Kaplinsky – highlights the challenges and benefits of replacing inefficient and outdated energy systems, and demonstrates how the CEF currently delivers savings of on average of £1 m per NHS Trust, and ‘makes the equivalent of every fourth hospital carbon-free’.
