Waste in hospitals is something I can’t help but notice every time. And I often feel like there’s not much I can do about it.
I went into surgery expecting waste. And yes, some of it was unavoidable. But I can’t help but question - do I actually need this?
This recent visit surprised me. I saw small positive shifts, but also waste that could be avoided.
In an unexpected moment, I was able to avoid creating waste, which I didn’t expect.
Health comes first. But even healthcare professionals have told me they wish there was less waste too.
