You can act today by advising your patients on how to keep safe during high air pollution days, and in the long term by undertaking GreenED Silver Action 5: decreasing idling vehicles around your department.

🩺 Clean air isn’t just a climate issue — it’s a health emergency. Cleaner air means fewer A&E visits, fewer hospital admissions, and healthier lives. As clinicians, we advocate for evidence-based care. Let’s also advocate for clean air — because prevention starts long before the ED doors.

In Emergency Medicine, we see the impact of dirty air firsthand: -Children in resus struggling to breathe during asthma attacks -Older patients with exacerbations of heart failure triggered by high pollution levels -Exacerbations of COPD and other respiratory illnesses that are preventable

#GlobalRecyclingDay A great infographic from @rcemgreened.bsky.social A 'never too busy to recycle' approach at Cardiff's Major Trauma Centre led to financial savings. Register your interest in GreenED: greened.rcem.ac.uk/

Text on infographic reads: Never too busy to recycle: Re-introducing proper waste streams to Cardiff’s Major Trauma Centre. Aim: To re-introduce domestic, offensive and recycling bags to the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) Emergency Department in line with new Welsh legislation and the RCEM Green ED Framework. Outcomes: After successful implementation in January 2024, savings over 6 months were estimated based on an audit of 24h of waste completed in May 2024, using the waste calculator from the RCEM Green ED portal. Clinical: Improved awareness of correct and safe disposal of waste. Environmental: 9243.78kg CO2e saved by diverting waste from high temperature incineration, potential to increase with education
Financial: £3619.98 saved, potential to increase with education. Social: Improved awareness of and engagement in the sustainability agenda amongst staff and patients, with lots of positive feedback. Author: Joanna Childs, Junior Clinical Fellow in EM and Sustainability.
