What is Sustainability in Healthcare and How Can Clinicians Contribute to Positive Change?

July 06, 2021 • Australian Podiatry Association

Within the healthcare sector, environmental sustainability occurs when resources are used as efficiently as possible, without compromising the quality of care for patients. Reducing the environmental impact of health care is important, and not least of all because of its links to the health of the environment.

We all acknowledge the need to reduce our footprint, yet what can practitioners do in their practices that help efforts towards more sustainable behaviour in healthcare facilities?

Join the APodA and Dr Angela Evens in our latest podcast episode, as we learn more about sustainability, the principles behind efforts to reduce emissions and waste, and the impact if we don’t start making positive changes now.
