Why sustainability matters in healthcare
Healthcare is about protecting lives – and that includes the planet we share. From reducing waste to cutting carbon emissions, sustainability is becoming a priority across the NHS and private healthcare providers. Choosing eco-friendly scrubs and sustainable healthcare uniforms is one way to make a difference.
