In this episode, Sarah interviews Rachel Stancliffe, CEO of the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare.
Listen in as we dive into sustainable healthcare with Rachel Stancliffe, CEO of the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare. With a significant portion of healthcare’s carbon footprint stemming from within the procurement chain, Rachel guides us through the comprehensive strategies and training the Centre delivers to minimise and eradicate waste. Prioritising preventive measures, patient-centric care, efficient pathways, and low-carbon interventions are a key focus.
The Centre aims to inspire and empower healthcare professionals to embrace sustainable practices, leveraging education, collaboration, and community involvement, ultimately advancing a culture of sustainability throughout the healthcare sector.
Sustainable healthcare emphasizes the balance between caring for the planet, the well-being of individuals, and financial responsibility. It seeks to ensure healthcare practices are environmentally and socially responsible. To address the healthcare sector's carbon footprint, emphasis is placed on prevention, patient-centered care, lean pathways, and low carbon interventions. High-impact areas include pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, buildings, travel, and procurement. The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare runs programmes engaging specialties like kidney care, to understand and reduce carbon footprints. They also offer training, including board-level sessions, empowering leaders and the broader workforce alongside other programmes.
