Green Impact

Green Impact Award - we are making an impact! 

Our UNESCO-award winning Green Impact programme runs in universities, students' unions, healthcare, research institutes, and cultural heritage sites. No matter where it runs, Green Impact aims to engage staff with sustainability, develop widespread understanding of sustainability, and support positive action within teams and departments.

In 2022, the Green Impact model was used by 428 organisations including NHS Trusts, universities, GP surgeries, heritage sites, local councils, and research institutes in the UK, Europe and Australasia. More than 1,100 teams formed across these organisations, reaching nearly 100,000 people, and these teams completed more than 28,000 positive sustainability actions and projects. 4,382 members of staff were actively involved in a Green Impact team and 880 students were trained as volunteers, supporting both staff and students to learn about, and lead on, sustainability within their organisations.

Ecclesfield Group Practice have been part of this project and achieved the bronze award

GP DATA FOR PLANNING AND RESEARCH (GPDPR) - June 2021

Data Opt Out Information

You may be aware of a new NHS Digital initiative https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/data-collections-and-data-sets/data-collections/general-practice-data-for-planning-and-research  to extract information from GP records for research and other purposes. Patients might want to opt out of this data collection and there are 2 different requirements to opt out:

  1. Type 1 data opt out - Urgent action required as the opt out window closes on 23 June 2021
  1. Type 2 data opt out - No time limit

This is to protect non-GP data held on your system, e.g. hospital or clinic treatment.
