30 New NHS MMC toolkit ‘provides a consistent view’ A new NHS Modern Methods of Construction Toolkit and accompanying User Guide are intended ‘to provide a framework and key themes to create a coherent Modern Methods of Construction strategy’.
37 How the six-facet survey can support Net Zero goals Brook Smith, Partner at independent property consultants, RLB, discusses six-facet surveys’ key part in supporting healthcare estates and facilities management personnel meet their sustainability targets, and work towards the objectives in their Green Plans.
43 The Copenhagen hospital tackling nitrous oxide issue The Maternity Unit at Copenhagen’s Hvidovre Hospital has recently reintroduced nitrous oxide to support women in labour, having ceased using it due to staff health risk worries. Denmark has new safety protocols for the gas’s use, and, while wanting to reintroduce it, the hospital needed to address its substantial climate footprint. How a central N2

60 Stop your sluice room being an ‘often overlooked corner’ The global commitment to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions has led numerous industries to seek sustainable solutions. For the healthcare sector, says Haigh Customer Service lead, Wendy Andrews, a simple yet significant contribution to this goal lies in an often overlooked corner – the sluice room, and the opportunities for enhanced efficiencies there.
64 Monochloramine – a new approach to disinfection The Technical director at water hygiene, treatment, and equipment specialist, Goodwater, discusses the various strategies that have been used to combat the growth and proliferation of Legionella in healthcare water systems.
