Healthcare waste training course

Following on from the successful Carbon Literacy Engagement event held in November, colleagues had asked about recycling general waste at our Trust.

This is something the Sustainability Team had been trying to introduce for a long time, but due to space constraints and other factors, were not able to do this effectively.

However, the Sustainability Team is meeting with Veolia and hopefully a recycling pilot scheme will be seen in some areas of the Trust soon.

If this proves successful, it will then be rolled out across the Trust – to make this successful we will need your help by ensuring you dispose of waste correctly.

If you are unsure of how Trust waste should be correctly disposed of, you can access an online training course called Healthcare Waste Management and Disposal via ELearning for Healthcare https://portal.e-lfh.org.uk/

More than 60 people took part in the Fire Walk Challenge and raised a staggering £22,600 plus. Sponsorship is still rolling in for the charity.

Well done both!
