Sustainable Kidney Care project

Kidney care is one of the most resource-intensive specialities in healthcare, making it a key focus for achieving sustainability goals. Recognising this, the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare led a pioneering initiative to make kidney care more sustainable, in partnership with the UK Kidney Association, and Health Innovation North-East and North Cumbria, with support from the Greener NHS. This project aimed to reduce the carbon footprint of kidney care while delivering cost savings, conserving water, and continuing to deliver high quality care to patients.
