Commissioners urged to consider "social value"

Submitted by Frances on Thu, 11/04/2013 - 09:23

An article by Mo Girach for the NHS Alliance. The piece comments on the implications of two recent pieces of legislation impacting on the delivery of health care services (particularly by independent charities and social enterprises) – the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012 and the Localism Act 2011. Both should become active forces during 2013.

Cumulative Savings from Green Nephrology Innovations - poster presented at RA-BTS Congress 2013

Green Nephrology case studies are prepared in collaboration with renal units to document local innovations with environmental benefits, together with information to support their replication elsewhere.  The majority of case studies describe financial as well as environmental benefits.  This study reviewed cumulative environmental and financial benefits from Green Nephrology innovations and estimated potential savings from their widespread replication in UK renal units at £7 million, 11,000 tonnes CO2e and 470 million litres water per year.

Renal unit reducing waste weight

Submitted by Dan Goodhind on Wed, 03/10/2012 - 10:48

Good morning, I have heard about a renal unit possibly in Kingston(?) who are somehow reducing the weight of their renal waste considerably, presumably by emptying all the fluid out of the bags by some process. I am interested in learning about this and was wondering whether you have any contact or further leads about this please? Many thanks, Dan Goohdind

Patient Perspective - Green Nephrology Summit 2012

Submitted by william_beale on Fri, 28/09/2012 - 10:16

My wife and I were invited to attend as patients the Green Nephrology Summit 2012. It was well managed and inspiring event. We had international perspective with a delegate from Australia who was bemused that we are controlled by Risk Assessments and seemingly insane H&S and Infection control guidelines that make progress and sustainability difficult.
