Sustainability in Adult Social Care: Reducing the Use of Gloves and Plastics

We are delighted to be carrying out two webinars looking at Sustainability in Adult Social Care during Greener Nurses and Midwifery week.

Sustainable healthcare means taking care of people’s health now without harming the health of future generations. It’s about understanding that our health and the health of the planet are connected, and making choices that help both.

Webinar: Sustainability in Adult Social Care – Reducing the Use of Gloves and Plastics

Theme: Our second webinar looked into reducing the use of gloves and plastics. Gloves are essential and crucial components of personal protective equipment, but their usage has surged dramatically – however the risks they safeguard against haven’t increased at a similar pace. Join us to find out about sustainable alternatives.

Speaker: Simone Harvey, Specialist Infection Prevention and Control Nurse, Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust
