This year, NHS Sustainability Day takes place on the 23rd March, and as always we are encouraging our sites to show their support by planting two trees at 2pm, somewhere prominent on their site.

Several NHS sites planted two trees at 2 o'clock - 2@2 - to mark NHS Sustainability Day 2016, on March 24th.
