I am an anaesthetist and recently visited the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare while on sabbatical. Thank you to Rachel and Frances for meeting with me. I have attached a copy of a behaviour change project i am undertaking in my anaesthetic department. Reporting on use of desflurane and sevoflurane and the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by switching to sevoflurane (and save money). It is based on work done by Rob Burrell in Auckland (see link to talks at Sustainable Healthcare Aotearoa forum 2017 - Robs talk on his project is number 7). Rob has had a lot of success with this approach which i hope to replicate in Dunedin. If you have any questions please email me on matthew.jenks6@gmail.com
