New guidance, Education for sustainable healthcare within UK pre-registration curricula for allied health professions, sets the groundwork for the next generation of health and care professionals. It will support future AHPs to understand the relationship between health and the environment, to deliver sustainable healthcare and be advocates for environmental sustainability.

This guidance was produced in collaboration with an advisory group across the four United Kingdom (UK) home nations: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It was developed jointly with parties with a direct interest in the development and provision of AHP curricula, including NHS England, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), Scottish Government, Welsh Government and Health Education Improvement Wales (HEIW), Public Health Agency Northern Ireland, AHP Professional Bodies, the Health and Care Professions Council, the Council of Deans of Health, and student representation from the #150 Leaders Student Leadership Programme alumni.
