#greenendoscopy seems like a complex, insurmountable challenge. But it doesn't have to be. We're working to 4 principles to help structure change: "MINIMISE (waste), MAXIMISE (sustainable practice), DEVELOP (collaborations), ENABLE (improvements)". Other factors frame these 4

Thank you! Its an established procedure. Any other tips you can think of to save plastic during the endoscopic procedure?

It's great to see an enthusiastic Twitter debate on Green Endoscopy. Keep on sharing those ideas. That's how we will make Endoscopy Sustainable 💚

Really happy with our new reusable baskets to hold patient belongings which reduce waste. Good feedback from everyone and a lovely photo of Kat, one of our Green Champions! 💚 @NorthumbriaNHS @JAG_Endoscopy @SMarshall58 @BSGNurses @tomjwlee
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 let’s make this the norm!
🌎🥣An early gift from the North Bowl! Adding to our #Greendoscopy project, no more single use, plastic coated, non-recyclable, incinerated, social wash pots for us. Instead we're using reusable metal bowls. No waste, no fuss! 🥣🌎 @RCHT_SSD @RchtE

Governments at #COP27 seem to be opting for yet more dither & delay. That is *unforgivable*. The climate crisis is a health crisis. Most liver disease is preventable- slashing fossil fuels, active transport, clean air, plant predominant diets are good for planet & liver health.

Climate & liver disease r inter-related (@MhairiDonnelly et al). Public health measures aimed at liver dis tackle climate too. #CleanAirCOP27, slash fossil fuels, active transport, plant based diet.

Thank you for this analysis @chantelle_rizan
It is concerning that single use scopes are being proposed based on questionable data & analysis

Letter to editor highlighting methodological concerns in study ‘The Carbon Footprint of Single-Use Flexible Cystoscopes Compared to Reusable Cystoscopes’ (PMID: 35607858)
…led to erroneous conclusion that single-use is “better”

This is a great example of paper reduction to make Endoscopy Greener 👏👏👏
Great initiative from @annaReichelt2, LRI Endoscopy Sister. QR codes for patient information, saving paper and helping our green endoscopy incentive . To be rolled out across all our endoscopy units
Green Endoscopy retweeted
AI in endoscopy will be key to achieving a greener endoscopy. Future is AI!! Future is greener!! #sustainable @GreenEndoscopy
Now in @AGA_CGH: #AI-supported diagnose+leave = safe for small polyps & ⬇️cost by 80% (less polypectomy + path)
Clear data.. clinical adoption?
Not so fast: 🇺🇸 system incentivizes ($) polypectomy. Practice changes unlikely unless economic model changes.
