There is a wealth of evidence about the benefits of accessing nature for both healthcare staff and patients.

Therefore, they have an important role in embedding nature within healthcare as part of broader workforce well-being, sustainability and quality improvement strategies. This article presents the evidence on the measurable and wide-ranging benefits of contact with nature for human health that underpins nature-based well-being interventions. The article also describes some of the ways nurse leaders can integrate nature within healthcare settings, provides examples of nature-based initiatives in healthcare and makes some recommendations for leadership practice.
