We were elated to join our colleagues, patients, retail partners and volunteers at this yearโs to reflect on our sustainability journey.
A special shoutโout to our NUCOHS team, who received the Incredible Care for the Planet Gold Award for the project โRethink the Surgical Gown - Right Protection, Less Water.โ By addressing the overuse of singleโuse sterile gowns while maintaining infection control standards, the team avoided 2,400 gowns in six months, preventing 470 kg of clinical waste and reducing an estimated 1,192 kg of COโ emissions.
It is a powerful reminder that simple, evidenceโbased changes in clinical practice can make a meaningful impact on sustainability without compromising safe, highโquality patient care.
