02/10/2019On 10 July, NHS staff was honored at the NHS Parliamentary Awards in the House of Commons, Westminster. PVCMed Alliance proudly sponsored the event to recognise the importance of nurses in particular in achieving sustainable development in the health sector.
With almost 600 nominations submitted by English MPs for the 10 award categories, the NHS Parlimentary Awards 2019 celebrated the hard work, dedication and commitment from the English healthcare staff.
Busy nurses drive sustainable development
PVCMed Alliance was proud to sponsor the event. As Project Manager Ole Grøndahl Hansen explains in the video interview from Westminster, it is very important to recognise the work done by nurses in achieving sustainable development in healthcare. In the UK around 30 hospitals are part of the RecoMed recycling scheme, funded by VinylPlus® and the British Plastics Federation where PVC oxygen masks and tubing from pre-screened, non-infectious patients are collected for recycling. Nurses are already very busy but take the time to sort and collect the used PVC medical devices for recycling.
