Your workforce may know what you’re trying to achieve. They may know how you plan to achieve it. But do they understand why it matters? Without the why, sustainability risks becoming another target, policy or task. cpdmatch.co.uk/pathways

We are delighted to announce that the Association of British HealthTech Industries (@UK_ABHI) is now a supporter of @CPDmatch. Healthcare, environmental sustainability and education are increasingly interconnected. Better health outcomes depend not only on innovation, but also on ensuring that healthcare professionals, suppliers and organisations have access to trusted learning and knowledge-sharing opportunities. CPDmatch provides a platform through which ABHI members can showcase educational activities, connect with healthcare professionals seeking learning opportunities, and support the development of a more environmentally literate and sustainability-aware healthcare workforce. By helping to bring together healthcare, industry and education, we can accelerate the spread of ideas, innovation and practical solutions that improve patient care while supporting the transition to a more sustainable health system. The ABHI recognises that education is one of healthcare's most powerful levers for change. Together, we can help ensure that knowledge, not just technology, drives progress towards a healthcare system that is healthier for patients, stronger for professionals and better for the environment. #climatechange #environment #education #healthcare

We’re excited to announce the opening for applications for our new cohort of the Enhancing Generalist Skills (enhance explore) starting 22nd April 2026 at York Hospital, Medical Education centre. The Yorkshire and Humber Enhance Programme (an NHSE enhance explore course) is starting a new cohort in York on 22nd April 2026 and again in Hull in September 2026. The application deadline is 1st March 2026 for York. The programme is a CPD accredited, locally-focused, free professional development programme for all staff working in health and care, whether clinical or non-clinical, from primary, secondary or community care. In this area more than 160 staff to date, including nurses, doctors, service managers, AHPs, pharmacy professionals, primary care and voluntary sector staff have benefitted from the learning, which has brought service improvements and tangible benefits for patients along with fun, innovative, expert teaching and thought-provoking inter-professional collaboration. Generalist Skills are recognised as critical for delivery of the NHS 10 year plan, for supporting neighbourhood health teams, and for managing our services in a changing healthcare landscape. The programme has had excellent feedback, and you can see video interviews with some of our participants here, or watch a short video about some of their projects and learning here. You do not have to be clinical to participate, and indeed, the wider the range of participants, the richer the learning. As one of our York participants has said "ENHANCE is the best thing I've done…It has helped prevent burnout, reminding me of all the possible ways I can help patients and their communities through generalist medicine. It has inspired me to get the best out of interactions with patients and colleagues, by encouraging my curiosity to understand the person and the community at the centre of NHS healthcare." The enhance explore programme is a one-year programme with a mix of face-to-face teaching, some online sessions, off-site visits and self-directed learning. The cohort is completely mixed (depending who applies) and one of the best parts is the learning from colleagues and the discussions which take place on the days. We meet every seven weeks for a full day but in between times you are flexible around your other work commitments. Most people average 2-4 hours learning per week. You will do a QIP as part of the programme and will also produce a poster at the end to showcase your learning. More information can be found by emailing us on [email protected], or by visiting our webpage. The ‘programme poster’ is attached if you wish to display in your staff area, along with the business card and application form.

Propofol, pollution and ‘proper’ bins: how to dispose of medicines waste safely A pleasure to collaborate on this article (rcoa.ac.uk/bulletin/winter-2…) discussing the importance of segregating healthcare waste at the point of care and why the correct waste streams must be used with a particular focus on the disposal of propofol through the ‘blue’ medicinal waste stream. The article presents benefits such as reduced use/incineration of fossil-fuel plastic, reduced greenhouse gases from waste processing, the potential to generate energy from waste and the reduced financial costs for healthcare organisations. As the article is being a subscription paywall, I have summarised the calls to action: 🌎 Never dispose of pharmaceuticals down the sink. This is illegal and harmful to the environment. 🌎 Map waste pathways. Track the ‘miles travelled’ by yellow vs blue stream clinical waste to identify the most environmentally efficient routes for disposal. 🌎 Introduce blue medicinal waste streams in theatres and critical care units. If these containers are unavailable, drug waste should be disposed of in the yellow clinical waste stream, excluding cytotoxic drugs. 🌎 Ensure proper staff education on different waste streams. 🌎 Use visual reminders like flow chart posters, bin labels, and sink stickers (buy.stripe.com/fZuaEWae3eiZ8…) to reinforce correct waste-disposal practices. @SharpsmartUK
