This study presents the carbon footprint of the In-Centre Haemodialysis (ICHD) patient pathway in Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, mapping emissions across key stages of treatment. It highlights the…

This study from Doncaster Renal Services evaluated reducing haemodialysis machine heat disinfection to once daily, instead of multiple cycles, to save energy and water. The team monitored infection…

This Bradford study targeted pharmaceutical waste in haemodialysis as a way to reduce both carbon emissions and costs. Through closer oversight of prescribing, stock control, and prioritisation of use…

This Leeds study evaluated switching haemodialysis acid concentrate from 1:33 to 1:44 dilution to reduce environmental impact. By using a more concentrated solution, each canister produced more…

This project from Bradford renal services evaluated reducing the frequency of haemodialysis machine heat disinfections to cut energy and water use. Heat disinfection is essential for safety but is…

This study outlines a quality improvement project assessing the impact of reducing dialysate flow rates in haemodialysis from 800 ml/hr to 500 ml/hr. The change was introduced to cut water and energy…

Grimsby dialysis unit partnered with Kidney Quality Improvement Partnership (KQIP) and the Trying to Reduce UnNecessary Carbon from Haemodialysis (TRUNC-HD) initiative to cut carbon emissions by…

An outstanding innovation by Drs. Buller has enabled their clinic to achieve carbon neutrality - a hugely impressive milestone in sustainable healthcare! With the healthcare sector accounting for…

In a renal service caring for approximately 40 patients dependent on central venous lines for haemodialysis access, the technique to access central lines was changed from using large aseptic fields…

Central Liverpool PCN undertook a 6 month project using the existing process of structured medication reviews (SMRs) to focus on deprescribing. 81 patients were reviewed. Reviews took an average…
