Over the past 12 months, the Greener Digital Futures workspace has gone through a significant refresh, designed to better support you and your teams in aligning with NHS legal obligations and sustainability goals. 

The Greener Digital Programme continues to empower the NHS to deliver low carbon, climate resilient digital health systems. Over the last two financial years, we have worked closely with ICBs to lead Greener by Design, an ambitious initiative embedding sustainable practices across digital health. 

While Greener by Design will officially launch across NHS England in 2026 to 2027, with rollout to providers from 2028 to 2029, there is plenty you can do now to get involved, understand the impact, and start adapting your work. 

Visit the refreshed workspace to explore, learn, and join the conversation.
