The SRSHN’s aim is to have at least one Sustainability and Health Ambassador for each of the 13 South region Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs).
It is hoped that the ambassadors will help STP leaders to consider the environmental and social sustainability of new plans rather than just financial sustainability, in order to help shape localisation, devolution and community led approaches to the current transformational change agenda.
The current 19 ambassadors were recruited over the last year and have been provided with a programme of leadership development. These ambassadors all have an existing role in health or social care and were chosen primarily for their understanding of the three dimensions of sustainability (financial, environmental and social), their commitment to this and their ability to communicate with and engage others.
