#greenendoscopy seems like a complex, insurmountable challenge. But it doesn't have to be. We're working to 4 principles to help structure change: "MINIMISE (waste), MAXIMISE (sustainable practice), DEVELOP (collaborations), ENABLE (improvements)". Other factors frame these 4

🌎🥣An early gift from the North Bowl! Adding to our #Greendoscopy project, no more single use, plastic coated, non-recyclable, incinerated, social wash pots for us. Instead we're using reusable metal bowls. No waste, no fuss! 🥣🌎 @RCHT_SSD @RchtE

Governments at #COP27 seem to be opting for yet more dither & delay. That is *unforgivable*. The climate crisis is a health crisis. Most liver disease is preventable- slashing fossil fuels, active transport, clean air, plant predominant diets are good for planet & liver health.

Climate & liver disease r inter-related (@MhairiDonnelly et al). Public health measures aimed at liver dis tackle climate too. #CleanAirCOP27, slash fossil fuels, active transport, plant based diet.

Thank you for this analysis @chantelle_rizan
It is concerning that single use scopes are being proposed based on questionable data & analysis

Letter to editor highlighting methodological concerns in study ‘The Carbon Footprint of Single-Use Flexible Cystoscopes Compared to Reusable Cystoscopes’ (PMID: 35607858)

Now in @AGA_CGH: #AI-supported diagnose leave = safe for small polyps & ⬇️cost by 80% (less polypectomy path)
Clear data.. clinical adoption?
Not so fast: 🇺🇸 system incentivizes ($) polypectomy. Practice changes unlikely unless economic model changes.
