Sustainability Statement

The NHS has committed to delivering a ‘Net Zero’ healthcare service by 2040, recognising the profound threat climate change poses to health. With its roots in the NHS, ePAQ® is committed to supporting this goal, helping to deliver more sustainable, patient-centred care.

​

ePAQ® enables remote assessment and virtual clinics, reducing the need for unnecessary hospital visits, paper-based processes, and duplicate consultations. For example, the implementation of ePAQ-PO® has been shown to reduce pre-operative hospital attendances, same-day cancellations, and overall consultation time - all of which contribute to a lower carbon footprint while improving efficiency.

​

We continue to assess our environmental impact and explore ways to help both patients and NHS services reduce theirs, ensuring that better healthcare also means a healthier planet.
