Meet Healthcare Consumables: in conversation with Andrew Brown, General Manage
Why Healthcare Consumables joined CSH?
At Healthcare Consumables, we have very strong principals about the products that we want to bring to market and quickly saw that CSH would not only give us a platform and a voice but also the opportunity to learn, develop and improve our proposition. We want to be able to engage with like-minded healthcare professionals and understand first hand their concerns, drivers and ultimate wishlist. We feel that we now have better clarity on our sustainability journey.
“Since it was established, it has always been the goal of Healthcare Consumables to challenge the status quo and introduce a new range of sustainable products to the acute care and aged care marketplaces. Partnering with CSH has given us a voice and a platform, but more importantly it has allowed us to learn and refine our business strategy based on the feedback of like-minded healthcare professionals.”
Andrew Brown, General Manager Healthcare Consumables

We are very open minded and expect to challenge and be challenged by the members of the CSH.
What is Healthcare Consumables’ vision for sustainable healthcare?
Our vision is to provide a catalogue of healthcare consumables that will serve to reduce single-use plastic and the carbon impact from manufacture to patient use. Our focus will be sustainability without compromising on functionality or patient safety.
