This webinar is free to attend for members of IPS, BIA and HIS.
Join us for a practical, evidence-led session on how reusable theatre hats and other circular-economy approaches can support greener, safer surgical practice.
The Green Surgery report outlines proven ways to reduce the environmental impact of healthcare without compromising patient safety. One key opportunity lies in reducing unnecessary single-use items in theatres. Despite longstanding concerns around infection risks, emerging evidence shows that reusable items – when implemented correctly – are both safe and environmentally beneficial.
With a focus on reusable theatre hats, this webinar brings together expert speakers to explore the evidence, address common concerns and provide practical tools for embedding sustainable practice within surgical settings.
