NHS Car Parking and Sustainable Transport Network
Summary
With an ever-increasing range of questions and data required for ERIC and PAM, plus a National Air Quality campaign focused on reducing NHS Trust emissions and the inclusion of Active and Sustainable Transport within Car Parking Strategies, – we all need support!
The aim of this national Network is to embrace the principles of HTM 07-03 but also to focus on the challenges faced in delivering integrated sustainable transport, car parks which operate efficiently.
Have you developed mechanisms to routinely and systemically review the need for patients, staff and visitors to travel? How do you manage your car parking and transport strategy against this changing background? How do you secure senior management buy-in and staff acceptance? How do you show you’re making progress and putting patients first?
In 2015, with the support of the Department of Health, NPAG set up a new national group dedicated to Car Parking and Travel Planning. The group is now well-established with members from across the country, including Northern Ireland. We have also made connections with key central bodies including NHS England, the Department for Health & Social Care, Sustainable Development Unit and the BPA.
