A very nice blog post from Sara Lightowlers on the recent BMJ Net Zero Clinical Care Conference 🍃.
She also nicely introduces the new joint environmental sustainability group between IPEM, RCR and SoR.
Well worth a read 👇

A joint IPEM/RCR/SoR environmental sustainability group now exists. We are collating all the work that has been done to make RT more sustainable. If you have done a "Green" project in radiotherapy please share it here: forms.office.com/e/rqiQjxqM1…

👀 Did you know #radonc? Our tx machines unintentionally release a potent #greenhousegas SF6 every day that is 23,000x worse than #CO2
🔍 We dug into the data & found the collective leakage from all tx machines 🌍 = 1 yr emissions from >14k cars 🚗💨
...& its other #medtech too
