I think the only sustainable thing we do is have biodegradable paper cups. Apart from that we don't even have recycling and go through a lot of waste and use a lot of plastic.

We have lots of recycling we have committed to in theatre and reducing environmental waste. We are always leaving feedback about our surgical packs in order to reduce waste

Also the only foil blister pack (from pill packaging) recycling program is where we keep the foil and one employee (nurse) takes them to a recycling facility when they can which I think should be the company's responsibility.
Graduate, Melbourne - 01 Nov 2023
Awful - there are hardly any recycling opportunities, waste is incredible. Paper charts and medical records is ancient and such a waste of paper and resources and time
