Another example of work done within this group and this time published in an IPEM journal (sciencedirect.com/journal/ipem-t…) 👍
A very nice blog post from Sara Lightowlers on the recent BMJ Net Zero Clinical Care Conference 🍃. She also nicely introduces the new joint environmental sustainability group between IPEM, RCR and SoR. Well worth a read 👇

A joint IPEM/RCR/SoR environmental sustainability group now exists. We are collating all the work that has been done to make RT more sustainable. If you have done a "Green" project in radiotherapy please share it here: forms.office.com/e/rqiQjxqM1N @RCRadiologists @SCoRMembers
🟢Join us in shaping a sustainable future! Committed to our planet and healthcare's impact? 🌍Make a difference in radiation oncology. Collaborating with Physics Workshop 2023, we invite you to our webinar on Carbon Footprint in RT Centres. 🌿Register: bit.ly/3LhR6LO

This is a great example of what groups like ours can achieve. This work involved 4 members of our IPEM Environmental Sustainability group. 👏 @ipemnews
👀 Did you know #radonc? Our tx machines unintentionally release a potent #greenhousegas SF6 every day that is 23,000x worse than #CO2 🔍 We dug into the data & found the collective leakage from all tx machines 🌍 = 1 yr emissions from >14k cars 🚗💨 ...& its other #medtech too

Sharing: To help us understand what ‘climate resilience ‘means, how vulnerable communities on the front line prepare, what the risks for the NHS and how to prepare, we are joined by Mark Harvey & Emer O’Connell 14th July 14:00 Teams: Meeting ID: 357 380 699 511 Passcode: poH5SP
This looks interesting!
Afternoon Lightning Talks!⚡ 🕐 13.45 - 14.05 ⭐Estimating carbon footprint & heat recovery potential of linear accelerator cooling systems 🗣 Joshua Cartwright, Sustainability Fellow in Adult #Oncology, @NewcastleHosps 📌 B61 @SCoRMembers @BIR_News @UKIOCongress #UKIO2023
This sounds super interesting! 🌳
There's still time to book for our Environmental Sustainability in Clinical/Rehabilitation Engineering online event, taking place on 30 March, exploring actions to help reduce carbon footprints bit.ly/3JFbViE @IPEMEnvironment
We are inviting evidence from mental health services, trusts & boards that demonstrate interventions initiated with the aim of delivering greener/ sustainable/ net zero mental health care to inform a report and resources. Read & submit by 11/04 here ➡️ ow.ly/VLru50Ne2bi
