Did you know re-processing reusable devices produces this much plastic waste? Jennifer Gregory from Ambu is telling us how single use devices are made from bioplastics and the Ambu recircle pilot

For our final session we have Dr Rob McCahon talking through the economic realities of single versus reusable devices. Departments need to consider their own usage: low rates of usage favour single use devices. ENT and anaesthetic departments may benefit from different devices
