AP-HP launches national awareness programme on ecological transformation
Published
The Assistance publique – Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) has been chosen by the Association nationale pour la formation permanente du personnel hospitalier (ANFH) to develop an awareness programme on ecological transformation. This is a first in France. The Plan Health Faire® thus becomes the national tool for this awareness effort.
The ANFH is the body that supports the continuing education of civil servants in the public hospital sector. With this new tool, the aim is to present healthcare professionals with the environmental issues linked to their daily work. The programme is therefore intended for all hospital staff, in every region of the country.
The Plan Health Faire® has already been put in place within the AP-HP. It helps teams better understand the impact of their practices on the environment and propose concrete solutions to reduce it. Thanks to its adoption at national level, these methods can be used by other healthcare establishments.
This decision shows that the hospital sector is increasingly interested in ecological issues. French hospitals consume a great deal of energy, produce waste and use many single-use products. Training staff is therefore an important step in changing these habits.
In summary, the AP-HP now plays a national role in training healthcare professionals in ecology. The rollout of the programme in the years ahead will make it possible to measure its effects on hospital practices.
