Nicola Stroud
Sustainability SIG
In this Special Interest Group (SIG), you will find information relating to sustainable theatres. This is an important topic in modern healthcare and all theatre departments should be taking steps to become more sustainable.
The NHS has pledged to become the first national healthcare system in the world to be net zero for emissions by 2045. Sustainability does not just refer to the environment though and we welcome discussions and information on other forms of sustainable development. This group will give us a place to find ideas. It provides a space to engage with like-minded people and share best practices. It will also be a repository of information to help guide evidence-based practice in theatres.
