This resource has been designed for NHS organisations in England. Much of the advice could, however, be applicable to healthcare providers throughout the UK and beyond. Don’t forget to visit the WeAdapt website, for more information on climate change and its impacts, further guidance for the tasks in this Framework, and a wealth of other open-source resources around adaptation alongside a space for collaboration. We hope this resource, along with the rest of the resources available, helps you to reflect, plan, and act, becoming more prepared for effectively adapting to a changing climate and a contributing to a more resilient healthcare system as a result.
To address the complexity of the change process required by large organisations to prepare for, and respond to, climate change impacts, an Adaptation Capability Framework was developed by Sniffer and partners in 2018 as part of the Adaptation Scotland programme, funded by the Scottish Government. This capability-maturity approach has been successful in supporting public bodies in Scotland to deliver adaptation outcomes, used by over 50 public sector organisations to date. Building on this work, a pilot project led by NHSE North West, NHSE North East & Yorkshire, and NHS Greater Manchester set out to draft a version of the Adaptation Capability Framework applicable for use by a range of NHS organisations in England. This resource has been produced by Sniffer and Sustainability West Midlands as a result of this project with support from a dedicated Task & Finish Group of NHS colleagues. The draft Framework also makes reference throughout to recently published Adapt to Survive risk assessment and adaptation planning toolkit for healthcare providers, developed by Sustainability West Midlands.
