We have committed to be Net-Zero Carbon by 2040 for our immediate carbon footprint, and to extend this to all we do by 2045

The production, and operation, of complex medical equipment produces large volumes of carbon. Much of the work to reduce the impact here lies with manufacturers and suppliers, so it is important we show this is important to us when we make decisions on new equipment.

We also need to think about how we can encourage the reuse and return of more equipment from patients, for example crutches, wheelchairs etc.

Also, medical equipment also creates waste at the end of its life. Whilst this is measured separately in our 'waste' carbon emissions, it is important when we purchase equipment that we also think about its lifespan, upgradeability, repairability and ultimately whether it can be recycled.
