This week we published our report on the work we’ve been doing at Great Western Hospitals to demonstrate what can be achieved when IPC and Sustainability teams work together formally. Do have a read of our rather eye-catching (at least I think so!) report: www.gwh.nhs.uk/media/aakj2u...

We all think plastic pollution is a problem, and it is. In the nearly 70 years between 1950 and 2019, the world produced a total of ~9.5 billion tonnes of plastic.
But all the plastic we have EVER produced weighs as much as CO₂ we emitted into the atmosphere during the first three months of 2024!

I’m both delighted and proud that the Infection Prevention Society is a signatory to this letter. The health impacts of climate change are truly terrifying.
A letter signed by health leaders across the UK has called on
Ed Miliband and Kerry McCarthy to put health at the forefront of discussions at #COP29 and demonstrate global leadership on climate change.
