The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust (SaTH) has secured funding for new EV chargers and a solar canopy.

These projects aim to cut energy costs and emissions.

They are part of a wider vision to save £1 million annually and reduce carbon emissions by over 3,000 tonnes.

Work has begun on nine EV charge points and will complete by December 2025.

The solar canopy at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital's car park will also reduce energy bills.

Additional green projects are funded by £17 million.

Inese Robotham, assistant chief executive, said: "With great teamwork and fully embracing our sustainability goals, staff are working hard to introduce schemes to reduce our carbon footprint."
