Abstract: How to decarbonise general practice with zero capitalThe NHS net zero targets are ambitious, necessary, and -for the average GP partner -daunting.While the central NHS can plan multimillion-pound retrofits for secondary care hubs, the independent contractor model often leaves primary care estates in a capital wilderness.We are expected to decarbonise, yet the grant funding required to do so is often non-existent or buried under layers of impenetrable bureaucracy.For many practices, the strategy has become 'wait and hope': wait for a grant, or hope the energy markets stabilise.But at Wonford Green Surgery in Exeter, we decided that waiting was a risk we could no longer afford.
