NCSH's newest addition provides long-term sustainable care all over Sweden – welcome Praktikertjänst!
They introduce themselves to the network below:
"
Praktikertjänst is one of Sweden's largest dental and healthcare providers with over 60 years of experience. The company has about 7,300 employees providing care to patients at our circa 730 clinics all over Sweden – from Ystad in the south to Kiruna in the north.
Praktikertjänst is owned by about 1,300 shareholders, of which all are practitioners: doctors, dentists, nurses, physiotherapists, and many more professions. Praktikertjänst's company vision is to achieve sustainable care all throughout Sweden.
At Praktikertjänst, sustainability is a key pillar in the business strategy. As a dental and healthcare provider, requirements regarding environmental management and quality assurance are stringent and ever increasing.
Praktikertjänst already has several well-established processes and routines in place throughout the organisation – from adequate hazardous waste management of mercury to the assessments of occupational health and safety risks and radiation safety protocols. Over the coming years, Praktikertjänst will take efforts to deepen the company's understanding of the impact on the environment and on society, as well as of how the surroundings impact the company, for example through the assessment of physical climate risks and Praktikertjänst's capacity to uphold the responsibility as a dental and healthcare provider.
Given the developments in the EU, such as the Green Deal with new legislation (including the CSRD and the CSDDD), Praktikertjänst is facing ever increasing requirements that go beyond what is already in place through the management system. The developments are about transparent reporting in accordance with the CSRD as well as a corporate sustainability due diligence process in accordance with the CSDDD, both of which will require actions on many levels.
Corporate sustainability in the dental and healthcare sectors is challenging and Praktikertjänst's sustainability efforts are still in its early stages. Praktikertjänst believes that the Nordic Center for Sustainable Healthcare can provide the company with a forum for discussion and knowledge exchange, knowing that many of the members have already tried and tested several different solutions.
