Opportunity:
Health professionals are among the most trusted voices in society, and they hold untapped potential in driving policy changes for greener and more sustainable healthcare that delivers better health outcomes for patients and the planet.
Join the Pharmacists for Greener Healthcare network to help transform healthcare worldwide so that it reduces its environmental footprint, becomes a community anchor for sustainability and a leader in the global movement for environmental health and justice.
Join the network
Pharmacists for Greener Healthcare brings together pharmacists from across Europe to share their best practice with each other and will coordinate advocacy activities to tackle pharmaceutical pollution and its contribution to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

- Collaborate with a growing network of engaged health professionals through email groups, newsletters, conferences, and group calls/webinars.
