This Bradford study targeted pharmaceutical waste in haemodialysis as a way to reduce both carbon emissions and costs. Through closer oversight of prescribing, stock control, and prioritisation of use of medicines approaching expiry, the team identified practical steps to limit unnecessary waste while maintaining patient safety.
The project showed that careful management of medicines can cut environmental impact, reduce disposal requirements, and improve efficiency. It demonstrates how pharmacy and clinical teams can drive sustainable practice, providing a replicable approach for other dialysis units seeking to reduce waste without affecting treatment quality.
