This webinar series with Melissa Pegg explores the foundations of sustainable healthcare, including how environmental outcomes (e.g., carbon dioxide equivalent emissions and circularity characteristics) could be evaluated alongside health technology assessment (HTA) and health economics (HE), to inform more sustainable decisions in health systems and policy. The series introduces planetary health, leading onto why incorporating and evaluating environmental sustainability could further support the sustainability of healthcare. Mel will also demonstrate key methodological considerations, such as defining appropriate scope and boundaries for environmental assessment, how trade off might be considered with respect to health economics and practical approaches for evaluating environmental sustainability within HTA and HE. Participants will also gain insights into measuring carbon equivalent emissions through the application of the goals and principles of HTA, emerging frameworks that might be useful for developing decision making in this space and tools that support integrating environmental sustainability considerations into HTA and HE.

Here are the dates, topics and times for the webinar series:

• Friday 17th July, 1pm to 1.30pm - What Type of Scope and Boundary Considerations Do We Need to Consider in Evaluating the Environmental Sustainability of Interventions?
• Friday 18th September, 1pm to 1.30pm - How Might Environmental Sustainability be Evaluated in Health Economics?
• Friday 27th November, 1pm to 1.30pm - How Might Environmental Sustainability be Evaluated in Health Technology Assessment?

Past Events:

• Friday 27th February, 1pm to 1.30pm - What is Sustainable Healthcare and How Do We Consider Environmental Outcomes in HTA?
• Friday 24th April, 1pm to 1.30pm - What are Carbon Emissions and Scope 1-3?
