Waste management webinar to take place next week

Grundon Waste Management's clinical division is to host a free webinar next week on the theme: "Driving sustainability and reducing costs in the UK NHS through effective waste management". This is ahead of NHS Sustainability Day.

The aim is to discuss best practice ideas and innovations in healthcare waste management that are helping NHS trusts to reach sustainability targets whilst reducing costs.

During the hour-long session a panel of experts will put forward and discuss and debate topics such as:

1. Reducing waste sent for high temperature incineration: how best to segregate waste to achieve a reduction in carbon emissions and increase cost savings

2. Increasing recycling rates: and recovery of wastes such as plastics, lighting, lamps, etc

3. Issues with mergers of NHS Trusts: alignment of procedures and best practice across sites.

4. Joining the dots: there is a lack of connection between waste, procurement and services being delivered (by NHS Trusts). These connections need to be made to make any significant reductions in waste being produced.

5. Internally driven improvements: these require resource, time and willing – difficult to achieve in a CIP culture and a system under strain just to deliver BAU.

6. The perception of cost efficiencies: Why is it perceived that relatively low financial savings can be achievable through improved practice and how to overcome these objections?

Speakers include: - Dr Anne Woolridge FCIWM, Technical Director, Independent Safety Services Ltd - Richard Hilson, Head of Sustainability, Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust - Scott Buckler, Campaign Manager, NHS Sustainability Day Campaign - Phil Steer, Commercial Manager, Clinical - Grundon Waste Managemen.

The webinar takes place on Wednesday, March 21 from 13.00 to 14.00 GMT.
