Healthcare’s carbon emissions contribute to climate change and when shaping a radiology service that is ready for tomorrow, we need to jointly work on reducing its environmental footprint. At the same time, climate-induced disease burden and resource shortages put a strain on radiology capacity.
If you are passionate about the environment, we would like you to meet these inspiring changemakers and hear their stories about the steps they have taken – big and small – to advance sustainability in radiology. Hopefully you can find some inspiration, whether you are just getting started on your journey as a sustainability advocate, or are looking for ways to step up your game. From energy saving to scheduling strategies and keeping our waters clean, the levers for impact are plentiful.
Seven steps to kick-start your sustainability initiative
Making an impact and driving change on any topic is easier – and more enjoyable – as part of a team. Changing your radiology department’s way of working to become more sustainable is no different. If you care about the environment and are looking for some inspiration on how to get started with a departmental initiative, this guide is for you.
We have collected resources and ideas from those who have travelled the road you are about to embark on and curated them into a template you could use to drive the change you want to see.
