Who we are

The Sustainable Healthcare Coalition is a collaboration between public and private sector health systems and private sector companies that engages and connects with a range of players in the UK and internationally to accelerate and amplify action on net-zero healthcare.

The Coalition works by engaging, connecting, accelerating, and amplifying action through its pre-competitive environment, which brings many committed commercial organisations together with health system stakeholders, such as healthcare providers, policy and regulatory bodies, and academics.
