Clients: Social Care Institute for Excellence and Department of Health

Catherine initiated this major national policy and development programme and secured funding over three years from the Department of Health and Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE). She raised awareness of sustainable development and built capacity across the sector through research, conferences, practitioner learning events, community engagement and publications.  She also contributed to national policy development and guidance regarding sustainability.

This work included a collaboration with Bristol City Council exploring how personalisation could stimulate the market for environmentally sustainable social care, and the development of an ethical framework for sustainable health and care.

For further information about the programme, visit SCIE’s sustainability web pages where you can also download a range of publications and resources.
