Reviewing #RecycleWeek engagement figures for walking aids got us like: #GreenerNHS


Thanks for the support @andypbennett79 #RecycleWeek #GreenerNHS #MSK

Lots of walking aids used in #Musculoskeletal services, would be good for #MSK services to support this initiative #BestMSK #BestMSKhealth



Day 5 of #RecycleWeek 2022. Would also like to thank all the local councils and waste services supporting the NHS with increasing walking aid return and reuse for sticks, frames and crutches. Lovely example of working collaboratively to make a difference 💚 #GreenerNHS


Thank you for your support @SuzanneRastrick ! #GreenerNHS #RecycleWeek #GreenerAHP

Help us be a #GreenerNHS! If you are a patient in our emergency department or the Grafton Way Building, you can now return your crutches, helping us save up to 6,760 kg of C02 emissions. Look out for the drop off points across those two sites! buff.ly/3BVCIoH #RecycleWeek

Is it sad how excited I was to see my team's bin label posters in real life?! Great to see @QeFacilities signposting patients where to return their walking aids at @Gateshead_NHS #RecycleWeek #GreenerNHS #NationalRecyclingWeek

Bring back your walking aids for recycling or Reuse! The NEW Walking Aid scheme allows patients to return walking aids like crutches they no longer need! Walking aid drop off point is next to main reception in the QE. #RecycleWeek @Gateshead_NHS

#RecycleWeek♻️ We are encouraging #NHS trusts to set up or boost their walking aids reuse and recycling schemes. Increasing return rates over 3⃣ years could reduce emissions by 7.4K tonnes equivalent to 281,397 car trips from London ➡️ Bristol 🚗 england.nhs.uk/ahp/greener-ah…

👏 @HWHCT_NHS ! Great to see promotion of your walking aid return and reuse scheme #nationalrecyclingweek #GreenerNHS #recycleweek

Do you have NHS issued equipment stashed away in the loft or garage? The @HWHCT_WCES team have a return and reuse scheme; repairing and cleaning equipment ahead of reissuing to future patients 🩼🦽#NationalRecyclingWeek

It is a myth that walking aids cannot be reused in the NHS if you see threads like this one⬇️⬇️ please encourage contact as per this tweet ⬇️⬇️ Change can and should happen. #greenerahp #greenernhs

Aha... these are being asked to be returned as the NHS has now established a recycling programme. Please drop the @GreenerNHS or [email protected] a line for information.
