Lead by example outside of theatre: bring your own cup/water bottle, avoid single-use plastic, try reducing your meat and dairy intake, switch off the lights & your computer at the end of the day. #NetZeroSurgery #COP26

The NHS used 5.4 billion single-use gloves in 2020/21. Cutting out unnecessary glove use can significantly reduce our carbon emissions! Gloves are only necessary procedures, hand washing/alcohol gel will do! So, could you cut some out? #NetZeroSurgery #COP26

Hand washing with alcohol gel has a much lower carbon footprint than an old-fashioned water scrub! And you don’t get your scrubs soggy! Find out more here: rcsed.ac.uk/professional-sup…

Desflurane is 20x more potent than Sevoflurane as a greenhouse gas. Each canister of Desflurane represents the equivalent of 2,227 miles driven by an average car vs 123 miles for Sevoflurane. Do you know what your patient is having? #NetZeroSurgery #COP26

For Xmas, why not treat yourself to your very own surgical hat? This will help reduce the millions of theatre hats in the NHS every year, saving the planet at the same time! Also, add your name! You may increase patient safety by improving communication! #NetZeroSurgery #COP26

1/3 of the carbon footprint of an operation is caused by procurement: how about trying some of NEW re-usable items? Is there anything on your set that could be swapped to re-usable? Metal kidney dishes and gallipots? Re-usable ports? Refillable ligaclips? #NetZeroSurgery #COP26

Talk to industry representatives about what they are doing to tackle the climate crisis! From April 2023, all NHS tenders will be requiring a 10% scoring value associated with social value and NET zero contributions... Time to get cleaned up! #NetZeroSurgery #COP26

Consider making small changes to your practice: Using sutures instead of skin clips eliminates a single-use item from your surgical equipment! This may avoid patients a trip to remove the clips, saving travel emissions & freeing up time for other patients! #NetZeroSurgery #COP26
