Concentric - the digital consent application supporting patients and clinicians to make informed, shared decisions about care. This project explores the feasibility of introducing carbon impact into the shared decision making process.

Used across a number of NHS Trusts and Health Boards, Concentric is the market leading digital consent application and is already digitally transforming the consent process, supporting patients with personalised, evidence-based, accessible information to make the right decision for them.

This project will look at the feasibility of introducing carbon impact into shared decision making conversations between patient and clinician, how to do so as part of the Concentric process, and build the evidence-base regarding carbon impact of the treatment options for high volume healthcare decisions.

Revolution-ZERO provides specialist surgical textiles designed for reuse with zero waste, zero carbon targeted manufacturing and reprocessing services. At end of clinical life these items are repurposed for other uses or recycled. Revolution-ZERO has the potential to save the NHS £28 million whilst providing a more effective service that prevents the negative environmental impact of PPE and other surgical textiles.

The other benefits of Revolution- ZERO includes UK job and income creation, decreasing health inequalities through community based repurposing initiatives, habitat restoration, transferability across the NHS (staff and patients) and into related and wider markets/regions.
