Dear all
The RCSEd and RCSE are launching the NetZeroSurgery webinar series that will look at how we can decrease the environmental impact of surgical care.
The first webinar will take place on Tuesday 12th April 2022, 19:00-20:30, and focus specifically of changes that can be made to our operative practices and the operating theatre, the #NetZeroOperating Theatre.
This webinar will be followed by the first intercollegiate BIG GREEN ROOM: in the last 30 minutes, the discussion will be opened to the floor and participants will be invited to share the experiences/questions/solutions that they have encountered in an effort to make operating theatres greener.
