Sustainable Prescribing & Patient Education
Helping You & the Planet Stay Healthy
At Acton Health Centre, we are committed to improving patient health while reducing our environmental impact. Our Sustainable Prescribing initiative ensures that we provide the best care for you while protecting the planet for future generations.
What We’re Doing:
- Switching to Low-Carbon Inhalers
Where clinically appropriate, we are offering environmentally friendly inhaler options to reduce carbon emissions. - Educating on Proper Medication Disposal
Safe disposal of unused medicines prevents environmental contamination and keeps communities safe. Ask us how! Learn more about medication waste and disposal - Promoting Healthier, Sustainable Lifestyles
Small changes make a big difference! We encourage active travel (walking, cycling), balanced diets, and sustainable living choices to improve your well-being and reduce your carbon footprint.
How You Can Help:
- Talk to your GP about switching to a low-carbon inhaler.
- Return unused or expired medications to your pharmacy instead of disposing of them at home.
- Incorporate more plant-based foods, walk or cycle when possible, and make sustainable choices every day.
Together, we can create a healthier future for everyone.
