Updated Green Theatre Checklist Published
Today the Royal College of Anaesthetists, UK and Ireland Surgical Colleges, the Association of Anaesthetists and the Association for Perioperative Practice published v2.0 of the Intercollegiate Green Theatre Checklist.
The checklist contains a list of recommendations to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres with specific detail on anaesthesia, preparing for surgery, intraoperative and the post-operative stages.
The checklist aligns to the RCoA's updated Environmental Strategy for 2024-2027. At CPOC we are committed to supporting efforts to reduce the environmental impact of care across the perioperative pathway.
