The Changing Face of Healthcare Waste in the Care Sector
Graham Flynn, Managing Director of Anenta, discusses the significant shift within the Care Home and healthcare sector from infectious waste to offensive waste and what this means for both waste producers and disposal entities. A large part of how the shift will impact both the NHS and private sector, including Care Homes, relates to the need for improved and continued waste auditing to meet regulatory requirements.
In his presentation, Graham draws attention to the six key elements of a Duty of Care Audit, explaining how they enable Care Homes to better assess their position and generate financial efficiencies at a time when disposal companies are increasing their charges. Graham will also explain how everyone, from management level to the frontline staff, can make a difference, ensuring compliance and good practice that has the potential to save Care Homes over £8,000 each year.
