Overview

Conference on Environmentally Sustainable Health and Care Research  

We would be delighted for you to attend the second Conference on research outputs in Environmental Sustainability jointly run by the Medical Research Council (MRC), National Institute of Health and Care Research (NIHR), and Greener NHS at NHS England.  This hybrid conference will take place on Wednesday 22nd October 2025, with the in-person event, hosted at the Royal Society of Chemistry in London. 

This year’s conference will build on the insights and commitments made during the first event. Each organisation will provide an update on their efforts, and share progress on the actions outlined in the 2024 conference report. This conference will be focusing on two key themes: decarbonising research estates, and capacity building for climate and health research. Attendees will have the opportunities to network and connect with experts across the sector, and gain insights into key developments. Successful abstract submissions will be presented as posters during the conference, showcasing important research updates across key areas.
