NHSの2050年80%削減目標に対応するため、精神医療サービスの炭素フットプリント算定手法を検討した博士研究。系統的レビューと全国調査で現状を整理し、財務・活動データを用いる「統合アプローチ」を開発。シナリオ分析等で評価し、経時的変化の把握には適合するが、財務データ依存と医薬品算定の不確実性（最大5倍の幅）が限界と結論。
English
A doctoral study developing a 'combined approach' to estimate the carbon footprint of mental health care for NHS Climate Change Act targets. Using systematic reviews, national surveys, scenario and cohort analyses, it finds the method fit for tracking service emissions over time, but limited by reliance on financial data and a five-fold uncertainty range in medication carbon estimates.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
英国NHSの医療脱炭素は、日本の医療機関・自治体病院のScope3算定やSSBJ対応を考える上で先行事例となる。特に医薬品の炭素換算係数の不確実性は、日本企業のScope3カテゴリ1・6算定の課題と共通する。
In the global GX context
Adds to the growing body of healthcare decarbonization methodology, relevant to NHS net-zero policy and analogous to Scope 3 Category 1/6 accounting challenges under CSRD and ISSB. Highlights the need for standardized emission factors in pharmaceutical supply chains.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The NHS has to meet the Climate Change Act targets of an 80% reduction to their carbon emissions by 2050. Investigation into the components of the carbon footprint of mental health care is needed to understand how services can meet these targets. This thesis first seeks to understand what is known about the carbon footprint of mental health care through two systematic reviews and two national surveys. Second, existing methodologies for estimating carbon footprints are examined to assess whether an approach is available that is ‘fit for purpose’ in mental health care. The approach needs to be applied feasibly within a clinical context and the results need to be sufficiently robust to reliably inform decisions about service design. The aim of this research is to provide an approach that service providers can use to estimate the carbon footprint of services and then use the information obtained to inform service design. This thesis defines the boundaries of assessment to ensure a consistent approach. It suggests an approach to data collection that includes financial and activity data. It presents a review of the available methods for converting this data to carbon equivalents and finds a potential five-fold range associated with carbon footprint estimates of medication. The approach developed within this study is termed the combined approach. The combined approach is then evaluated using a scenario analysis, a four-year retrospective cohort analysis and a prospective care modelling analysis to assess whether it is fit for purpose according to specified criteria. It is concluded that the combined approach is fit for the purpose of assessing how the carbon footprint of a service changes over time. However, due to the use of financial data and the problems with estimating the carbon footprint of medication, this approach has significant weaknesses, which limits its wider use.
