Grateful to write this editorial on #Sustainability in #irad for @cvirendo. What is the next step to take as a society? Realistically, a top-down approach is needed and @cirsesociety and @SIRspecialists will play a key role here! rdcu.be/c8ZQn @FIavius_P @JulianMaingard

How would @RCRadiologists shape up? We’d love to see our college sign up for some independent scrutiny of climate ambition and action.

Article containing lots of ideas for cutting the environmental impact of IR. Lots of solutions exist. Let’s implement them.
Prof. Warren Clements@Warren_IR
Great review article on sustainability in IR by my colleagues from Monash and Austin Health. A must-read! @JulianMaingard @ronil_chandra @FIavius_P doi.org/10.1186/s42155…

The surgeons have created a Green Theatre checklist with several points relevant to IR.
Royal College of Anaesthetists@RCoANews
Did you know 60% of the carbon footprint of operating theatres is energy for lights, warmers, air con etc? The surgical colleges have produced an evidence-based Green Theatre Checklist to support changes to reduce the carbon footprint of operative care. ow.ly/lgXh50LGOj8

Iodine based contrast recycling in fluoroscopy. Is this happening in your department?
Greener Radiology Group@GreenerRad
If your department uses GE’s contrast, look at their iodine based contrast recycling scheme.

GE HealthCare@GEHealthCare
Iodine, used in #CT and #Xrayimaging, is a non-renewable resource, and only about 18% of the current demand is reused. However, now @GEHealthcare’s recycling program is expanding, helping to support the circular economy. bit.ly/3JVmFbE #FutureofHealthcare #contrastmedia

@FIavius_P @jinsj22 @BSIR_News @CAIRweb @SIRspecialists Still better, even taking that into account, but, there is a caveat: if you lose the cap after a few uses the life cycle analysis would be less favourable sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
English
@GreenerRad @jinsj22 @BSIR_News @CAIRweb @SIRspecialists Probably not. But the reusable ones should be cleaned regularly - daily according to the guidelines above. Is that better or worse from an environmental perspective?

In the #irad theatre, in non-pandemic times, who should wear a face mask for every single procedure? (Not hybrid cases)

@FIavius_P @jinsj22 @BSIR_News @CAIRweb @SIRspecialists Better question: Does anyone in IR need to wear a disposable hair net? #reuseabletheatrecaps #theatrecapchallenge
English
@jinsj22 @BSIR_News @CAIRweb @SIRspecialists Thanks! Turns out that I read this actually, years ago, but clearly forgot about its existence.
I was after an answer to the question: does the medical student in the corner of the room need a mask and hair net. I think this has it.

A good summary of the pros and cons of home working/ hybrid working (link to article below). Home working may also reduce the carbon footprint of individual radiologists. Check the climate impact of home working here: ons.gov.uk/economy/enviro…

Appendix 5 of the national infection prevention and control manual for England has a flow chart for when gloves are needed. england.nhs.uk/wp-content/upl…

Can we reduce the use of disposable gloves in radiology? This guide for nurses highlights when gloves really need to be used, for example, when there is a risk of exposure to contaminated fluids.

Watch and share our #GAW22 film to help highlight how reducing unnecessary glove use is a simple way to make health care more sustainable: bit.ly/3K0qonw
