Finishing the teams receiving silver are Chatsworth Ward and Children& #39;s Therapy. Both teams stood out for their commitment to engaging patients in our Green Impact scheme, bringing even more sustainability benefits. Well done!
Achieving Bronze for #GreenImpact are @DataScienceNott and @InstituteMH. Both teams really helped launch the @TerraCycleUK crisp packet recycling scheme at @NottsHealthcare recycling thousands of packets between them. Great work!
Several @CamhsNotts teams were involved with #GreenImpact, the Community CAMHS West team reach Bronze! Amongst their work was a no single use lunch which staff took part in to socialise and reduce the waste associated with food! Congratulations!
Next up are @NottsHClib. They have done lots of great work to achieve the bronze award. One great idea they had was to create a rota to check, identify and report any leaky toilets or dripping taps, such a simple way to save water! Brilliant stuff!
. @Worksopnurses successfully achieved Bronze for their first year of #GreenImpact. As part of their scheme, they added Green Impact as an agenda item to handover so any ideas could be shared with the whole team. Great work!
