Improving Sustainability in Simulation/Skills Education

Hello,

I am a 2nd year adult nursing student, currently on placement within QAPL (Quality Assurance Practice Learning).  I am working within sustainability in healthcare, and focusing specifically on improving sustainability in simulation rooms and clinical skills education.

I wondered if there was anyone also within educational settings working on a similar project, and if you have found any interesting information or ways that you have improved sustainability in your settings.

Many thanks

Emma

Hi Emma,
I have just started a secondment within Practice Education and am also sustainability lead within my unit. Apart from simple suggestions such as simply saying I would put on gloves and apron we have no sustainability plan as yet so I would be very interested in anything you discover.

Hi Rob,
Thank you for replying to my thread.
Previously in the thread - Kristine mentioned that she re-uses consumables, instead of buying medical equipment/consumables that she gets from the hospital that are out of date. I really liked this idea, and am liaising with my university to see if this is something we do/could do.
