Policy Connect Event | Sustainability in Healthcare Summit
2024-09-10 10:00 - 12:00 UTC | London
Policy Connect will be hosting a parliamentary summit on sustainability policy and practices in the healthcare sector, chaired by Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick.
Context
The health system is a key part of the UK economy, providing jobs and productivity and supporting the health of the workforce, but with this comes significant resource consumption, waste and deleterious social and environmental impact.
Burgeoning health service use entails increased costs and waste; how the new government can sustainably manage increasing demand, meet quality of care, and ensure safety while reducing waste in the system will require careful consideration.

Key focuses for discussion

Sustainable healthcare policy: Government and NHS commitments to sustainable healthcare, progress, and next steps in the new Parliament; and
Green health and the circular health economy: achieving efficient pathways and sustainable medical resource management, including medical waste.

About Policy Connect
Policy Connect is a cross-party think tank. We specialise in supporting forums, commissions, and parliamentary groups (APPGs), including the APPGs for Health and Sustainable Resource. In concert with our members and supporters, we deliver impactful policy research and event programmes to help shape public policy in Westminster and to improve people’s lives.

SUEZ Webinar | Shaping the future of waste sector in the UK
2024-08-06 14:00 - 15:00 UTC | Online
At a recent conference SUEZ asked 50 local authorities to list down their top three asks for the new government in our sector and the way forward to a resource efficient, more circular economy, and their top three asks were:

Clear timelines and targets are crucial for effective decision-making and execution over the next five years by local authorities and their service providers. (EPR, DRS and Simpler Recycling).
Funding is essential for implementing any new policies and for updating or replacing existing infrastructure to handle the upcoming policy demands in terms of new materials being captured at the kerbside or sorted at the MRF etc.
It is vitally important that a consistent national campaign around effective recycling participation, building understanding of better consumption and busting myths about the sector will be essential to boost behaviour change.

Are these priorities the same as yours?
