Delivering ‘net zero carbon’ ‘best practice’guide launched
IHEEM, in partnership with the Carbon and Energy Fund and HEFMA, and with the full support of IFHE and IFHE-EU, have published a new best practice guide entitled A Healthcare Engineering Roadmap for Delivering Net Zero Carbon. Produced in response to Delivering a ‘Net Zero’ National Health Service, published last October, this CPD-accredited document sets out a clear roadmap to help meet global environmental policies and targets that have a direct impact on healthcare engineering. It draws on real project experience, as well as reviewing emerging and future technologies, and explores how both NHS Trusts and the healthcare engineering profession worldwide can develop strategies now while simultaneously preparing for future innovation.
Pete Sellars, CEO of IHEEM, said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in engineers worldwide having to actively deal with a raft of new and complex healthcare engineering challenges. These challenges predominantly centre around managing and maintaining critical engineering infrastructure services as demand increases and reaches levels above and beyond their intended design. Previously, core services such as medical gases, ventilation, water, electrical, and decontamination services, had, in most cases, been taken for granted by clinical and medical teams worldwide. The Delivering a Net Zero NHS document recognises that COVID-19 will continue to impact how the hospitals plan to deliver their care models. The urgent requirement to ensure that resilient healthcare infrastructure systems worldwide are available to meet these increased demands will almost certainly directly conflict with the ambitions to reduce the environmental impact of those services.
“I am proud that IHEEM, in collaboration with our wider international partners, the International Federation of Healthcare Engineering (IFHE) and the International Federation of Healthcare Engineering Europe, are creating a platform for the sharing of knowledge throughout our community. We are committed to working together in partnership with our engineering profession worldwide to promote the development of new engineering solutions that safely manage patients, and protect staff and the public,
while responding to the climate change agenda.
“Embracing the known and future advances in knowledge, innovation, and technology will be vital for healthcare engineers worldwide, together with transferable engineering science to help them meet whatever government policies or targets are required. This document will provide an excellent platform and reference point to work with, and will be updated as new technologies and solutions come to light. Please help support this by contacting IHEEM, IFHE, and IFHE-EU to enable us to continue to share worldwide with our healthcare engineering networks.” The document is available for download to NHS organisations via the Carbon and Energy Fund website, and to members of IHEEM, IFHE-EU, and HEFMA, via their respective websites. Linked to the launch of this guidance, and as part of IHEEM’s 2021 Digital Programme, there will be a live webinar on 14 April 2021. The event, 'A Healthcare Engineering Roadmap for Delivering Net Zero Carbon', will include sessions on: n Decarbonisation in the context of national policy;
n The roadmaps to net zero and emerging technologies;
n A practical example of progressive decarbonisation – a case study from the NHS.
