A UK regional survey of public perceptions about environmental sustainability within Podiatric Healthcare

There is a climate emergency and need to achieve 45% reduction in Carbon emission by 2030 to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°c. The UK
NHS has a national environmental sustainability target to become a carbon neutral healthcare system by 2040. However, within Podiatry, there is
limited research evaluating the carbon footprint of podiatric practices or informing strategic improvement targets. There is limited research
describing public perspectives about podiatric sustainability. Thus, the main project aim was to determine public perception of environmental sustainability in relation to podiatry.
