Health Care Without Harm (HCWH) will host an open webinar exploring how the healthcare sector can manage it’s water footprint and ways to minimise pharmaceutical pollution in hospital wastewater through sustainable waste management.
Date and time: Apr 9 (10:00 GMT)
Registration link: Webinar Registration – Zoom
Description:
While pharmaceuticals are vital to patient recovery, their journey doesn’t end in the ward. Daily, tons of medical compounds (ranging from contrast agents to antibiotics) enter European waterways, driving human health impacts, such as accelerating antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and disrupting fragile aquatic ecosystems. As healthcare professionals, you occupy a strategic position to mitigate this impact. Join us for this webinar in which we will analyse the hospital water footprint and provide actionable waste management strategies to protect our water resources without compromising patient care.
