Royal North Shore Hospital Nursing and Midwifery
Waste Committee Champion: Sarah Winter for Birth Unit
Are you recycling your batteries and empty glass
pharmaceuticals like Birth Unit ?
If not, this is a great start to start recycling and reducing your waste! You can call the help desk and arrange to have them delivered to your ward!
Some Statistics:
There are improvements to be made around Clinical Waste
300,000kg of clinical waste is produced by RNSH each year
As a hospital we need to try and aim to reduce this number by 25%. More than half of waste in the clinical
waste bins is NOT clinical waste (audit data).
We hope with educating and informing more people through the Waste Committee and Waste Champions that we
can improve these numbers! As always if you have any questions feel free to contact your Waste Representative. We
are always looking for more Waste Champions, so if you’re interested have a chat to your NUM/MUM about joining
today!
There is a survey with Zouki coffee cards up for grabs!
If you could please complete and send it to Susan Day (Susan.Day@health.nsw.gov.au), you could be in the running to win a free coffee voucher! There are 5 to be won! The Quiz will be circulated with the newsletter.
