MAKING THE NHS GREENER
Bristol Royal Hospital for Children (BRHC) has become the first paediatric NHS hospital to install equipment that captures the waste gases usually released into the atmosphere when patients are anaesthetised.
Every hour of surgery performed releases carbon dioxide with the same impact on the environment as driving a car five to 10km.
Now University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust’s (UHBW) has invested in volatile capture chambers for two operating theatres, which is helping reduce the hospital’s carbon footprint.
