    110 - Deprescribing as a Decarbonisation Lever with Lisa-Marie Smale and Nicole Hunfeld

    Most work on greener medication starts with the waste bin. This episode goes one step upstream, to the moment a medicine is prescribed at all, and in which form. Lisa-Marie Smale and Nicole Hunfeld explain what 63 Dutch doctors and pharmacists agreed to change about prescribing, why a tablet can beat a drip, and where a stop date gets lost on the way home.   About the guests: Lisa-Marie Smale is a pharmacist and postdoctoral researcher in sustainable medicine use at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, and first author of the Delphi study behind this episode. Nicole Hunfeld is a clinical pharmacist at the Erasmus MC intensive care unit, chair of its green team and Associate Professor in Sustainable Healthcare. Both work in Samen de zorg vergroenen (Greening Healthcare Together), the Dutch national programme implementing sustainability measures in almost all 69 hospitals. Nicole was last on the show in episode 088.   Three things you'll take away:   Not treating beats switching. Visible medicine waste is the easy start, but the bigger gain sits before the prescription: up to 70% of guidelines say nothing about when to stop, so medicines run on because nobody asks whether they are still needed.A tablet beats a drip only when the dose is equivalent. Oral paracetamol has a far lower footprint than IV, but the switch only holds where bioavailability is high enough (a rule of thumb of 70 to 80%). By Nicole's account, her ICU went from a 25% target to a 50% cut within a month, with nurses in the lead.Follow the proton pump inhibitor home. One pill a day, often started inside a standard pain package, with no owner for the stop date. In Dutch primary care, roughly nine in ten are taken without a current indication.  References mentioned:   Smale EM, van der Giessen JL, Appels CWY, et al.

    109 - What's Up With the Single-Useness? Inside Hospital Routines with Heidi Annala

    Hospitals use many single-use products. So why do the disposables stay? Heidi Annala studies the routines and protocols that keep single-use in place, and explains why reaching for a single-use item is often not really a choice.   About the guest: Heidi Annala is a PhD candidate in the Environmental Policy Group at Wageningen University & Research. She works in "How we act", the work package on hospital culture and care professionals' practices in ESCH-R (Evidence-based Strategies to create Circular Hospitals), a Dutch research consortium coordinated by Erasmus MC, the university medical centre in Rotterdam. Her fieldwork takes her inside hospital departments, from a dialysis ward in Utrecht to obstetrics in Rotterdam.   Three things you'll take away: Single-use is often not a choice. In the wards Heidi observed, there is often one product for a given clinical need, so the disposable is simply how the job gets done. As some staff told her: "Well, I don't have a choice." Ask about practices, not individual behaviour. Instead of "why is somebody not doing what I want them to do?", Heidi asks "why is this way of doing things normal?", which opens cultural, material and organisational routes to change. Nobody changes a protocol alone. Microbiologists and infection prevention specialists tend to come up, and because protocol work sits on top of clinical work, change can meet friction even when nobody opposes it.  Timestamps: 00:00 Cold open 00:36 Welcome, and the link to episode 088 with Nicole Hunfeld 02:08 Meet Heidi: Wageningen, ESCH-R and the "How we act" work package 04:48 What is a hospital protocol? 06:26 When going against protocol is good practice 07:48 The problem statement: what's up with the single-useness? 09:53 Practices versus behaviour versus products 12:28 Fieldwork on a dialysis ward 17:25 Low-hanging fruit? Dialysate bags and specialist knowledge 20:34 Is reaching for single-use really a choice? 23:09 What might be driving single-use, and a detour into the US reuse market 30:28 Where protocols come from, and who can change them 35:10 When protocol work sits on top of clinical work 37:23 What gives Heidi hope   References mentioned: ESCH-R consortium: https://esch-r.orgDutch national clinical guidelines (Richtlijnendatabase), the kind of database Heidi describes: https://richtlijnendatabase.nlClifford Geertz, "Deep Hanging Out", The New York Review of Books, 1998: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1998/10/22/deep-hanging-out/M.C.

    108 - Hospital at Home: Moving Acute Care Into the Patient's Home with Maria Normand Larsen

    What happens when you move acute hospital care into the patient's own home? Maria Normand Larsen shares the results of Denmark's first hospital-at-home randomised trial. About the guest: Maria Normand Larsen is a medical doctor and researcher at Herlev Hospital who recently completed her PhD on remote care. Her randomised trial, run at Nordsjaellands Hospital, tested whether acutely ill patients treated at home do better than those admitted to a conventional ward. Three takeaways: Patients treated at home were measurably more physically active than those in hospital, which matters because the drop in activity during admission drives functional decline and slower recovery.- They were also more satisfied with their treatment, so the better-for-recovery option was also the one patients preferred.- Hospital at home is a complex intervention, not just a change of location. It only works when hospital teams, municipalities, patients and relatives are aligned, and a model proven in one department cannot simply be lifted onto the shelf elsewhere.Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro and why remote care 02:00 - What is a care model, and the trial's goal 05:00 - The findings: more active, more satisfied 09:00 - Why it's a complex intervention 12:00 - Which patients it suits 17:00 - A first step for teams who want to try it References: Hybrid Hospital at Home and Physical Activity RCT (JAMA Network Open): https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2850565- Informal caregivers in a hybrid hospital-at-home model (BMC Health Services Research): https://research.regionh.dk/en/publications/caring-beyond-hospital-walls-informal-caregivers-experiences-in-a/- Nordsjaellands Hospital: https://www.nordsjaellandshospital.dk- Maria Normand Larsen on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/maria-normand-larsenYou might also enjoy: Telemedicine: Reaching Drawdown with a Decentralised Healthcare System (Ep 016)- The Transition From the Sick Care System to a Preventive Care System (Ep 008)Hosts: Joachim Almdal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joachim-espeland-almdal-017a6973/ Frederik van Deurs: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederikvandeurs/ Care Pathway Consulting: https://carepathwayconsulting.com "It's not just a shift of location.

    107 - Melissa Pegg on Sustainability in HTA

    If we want to fix sustainability in healthcare, one of the most powerful levers sits at the gate where new health technologies get approved: Health Technology Assessment (HTA). In this episode of the Sustainable Healthcare Podcast, Frederik Dam van Deurs speaks with Melissa Pegg, Senior Research Consultant in Environmental Sustainability in HTA at the York Health Economics Consortium (YHEC), University of York, and co-lead of the first HTAi Working Group on environmental sustainability in HTA. Disclosure: All opinions are Melissa's own and not the opinions of York Health Economics Consortium (YHEC) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). About the guest: Melissa Pegg leads YHEC's environmental sustainability work, bringing environmental impact methods into HTA and health economics for the NHS, government bodies and industry. She holds a master's in HTA (University of Glasgow), spent 18 years in industry before academia, and was a fellow in sustainable surgery for the BMJ. Three things you'll take away: HTA works as a "gatekeeper", and adding environmental impact alongside safety, efficacy and cost could reshape which technologies reach patients.- The "information conduit" and "parallel" approaches: getting environmental data into HTA now, reported alongside health-economic data, without waiting for agencies to build new capacity.- A real case study with the Scottish Health Technologies Group: reusable vs single-use endoscopes came out around 50% less environmentally impactful, with a more favourable budget impact and QALY, and still held up when the 3,000-use assumption was quartered under sensitivity analysis.Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:00 Life in York: yoga, two boys, philosophy 03:00 What HTA is, and why it's a gatekeeper 07:00 National vs global: WHO, NICE and the devolved-nation agencies 09:00 The "reference case" and how agencies differ 15:00 Adding the environmental and planetary-health perspective 17:00 Safety for whom?

    106 - Alejandra Medina from Quipment on Circular Clinical Trials

    How do you cut 40% of the carbon out of a clinical trial without changing the price? You rent the equipment instead of buying it. In this episode of the Sustainable Healthcare Podcast, part of our mini-series with the Sustainable Healthcare Coalition's Community of Practice for Clinical Trials, Frederik Dam van Deurs speaks with Alejandra Medina, Chief Sustainability Officer at Quipment, the French, B Corp-certified provider of equipment solutions for clinical trials. About the guest: Alejandra Medina is Chief Sustainability Officer at Quipment SAS, a Nancy-based company founded in 2010 that equips and maintains clinical trial sites across 110+ countries. She joined as quality director and led Quipment through its B Corp certification. Three things you'll take away: An equipment-rental ("equipment-as-a-service") model is circular by design: returning, reprocessing and redeploying devices keeps them in near-constant use across the value chain.- Quipment's benchmark, built for B Corp certification, shows a 40% carbon-footprint reduction moving from a linear to a circular model, comparable to the saving the Sustainable Markets Initiative estimates from more digital trials.- The real bottleneck for circularity isn't the technology, it's convincing the actors in the trial supply chain that circular is just as safe, compliant and high-performance as linear.Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 02:00 Meet Alejandra: from Mexico to Nancy 03:00 What Quipment does: equipping and maintaining trial sites 05:00 The portfolio: ECGs, infusion pumps, data loggers and 3,000+ products 07:00 Becoming a B Corp: how the assessment revealed a circular model 09:00 Circular by design: rent, return, reprocess, redeploy 13:00 Where circularity breaks down in clinical trials 16:00 The cost question: services at the same price 18:00 Informing the choice: tools over mandates 19:00 The Quipment Carbon Compass: a comparator, not a calculator 20:00 40% carbon reduction, linear vs circular 23:00 The new seven-pillar B Corp standard 25:00 What gives Alejandra hope References and links: Sustainable Healthcare Coalition, Community of Practice for Clinical Trials: https://shcoalition.org/sustainable-clinical-trials-knowledge-hub/ B Corp certification (B Lab): https://www.bcorporation.net/ Quipment B Corp profile: https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us/find-a-b-corp/company/quipment-sas/ Alejandra Medina on LinkedIn: https://fr.linkedin.com/in/alejandra-medina-3315185 Quipment: https://www.quipment.com/ You might also enjoy: Episode 102, Sustainable Clinical Trials (1): Convien & myoncare with Christian Hieronimi: https://carepathwayconsulting.com/podcast/podcast-episode-102/ Host links: Joachim Almdal on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joachim-espeland-almdal-017a6973/ Frederik van Deurs on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederikvandeurs/ Care Pathway Consulting: https://carepathwayconsulting.com "Quipment Carbon Compass isn't a calculator, it's a comparator.

    105 Lucas Pianegonda Structured Material Selection: Building Sustainable Medical Devices with PlasticsSustainability Healthcare Podcast

    Structured Material Selection: Building Sustainable Medical Devices with Plastics How do you make a medical device more sustainable without blowing up the business case? Lucas Pianegonda breaks down the structured way to choose plastics, and why the first win is usually deleting a requirement, not changing a material. ABOUT THE GUEST Lucas R. Pianegonda is founder and lead plastic expert at Gradical (Switzerland), a consultancy that helps medtech companies select materials that are technically sound, compliant, and lower-footprint. Material scientist by training, he also hosts the podcast now called MedTech Sustainability by Design. KEY TAKEAWAYS - Over-requirement is the biggest hidden source of cost and carbon. Challenge every "must be medical grade" before you reach for a greener material. - The plastic pyramid: moving down from high-performance plastics (PEEK) to engineering or commodity grades, where the part allows, cuts footprint and cost at once. Twenty years ago we just called it optimising. - You don't need a 50,000 euro LCA to decide. A rough Excel or OpenLCA estimate gets you within ~20-25%. The certified LCA is for making public claims, which the EU's Empowering Consumers Directive now requires you to back with data. TIMESTAMPS (adjust to audio) 00:00 - Intro and Lucas's path into materials 04:00 - Four forces driving sustainability in medtech 12:00 - Why SME device makers struggle to specialise 18:00 - Structured material selection and the value analysis 24:00 - The plastic pyramid and downgrading 30:00 - Rough vs. certified LCA, and what an LCA really costs 38:00 - Selling sustainability: the commercial translation gap REFERENCES - OpenLCA, free life cycle assessment software: https://www.openlca.org - Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive, Directive (EU) 2024/825 (applies from 27 September 2026) - Pharmapack Europe: https://www.pharmapackeurope.com - Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi): https://sciencebasedtargets.org - Lucas's podcast, MedTech Sustainability by Design: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2389989 LINKS - Lucas R.

    104 - Small Revolution: Stories About Upcycling in Hospitals

    What if the plastic waste from a hospital's clinical areas could come back as the ID card holders every nurse and doctor wears every day? That is what SMALLrevolution is doing, and it is one of the more elegant circular economy stories I have come across in healthcare. About the guest: Arendse Ekegren Baggesen is the Founder of SMALLrevolution, a Danish design-to-manufacturing company that collects plastic waste from hospitals, municipalities, and companies, transforms it into recycled raw material, and produces furniture and functional products that go back to the original waste producer. Three key takeaways: According to Arendse, only 8-10% of plastic collected in Denmark is actually recycled. Sorting quality in the waste stream, not collection, is the primary bottleneck.SMALLrevolution's closed-loop model: they collect a facility's waste, produce products from it, and return those products to the same facility, along with full LCA and ESG data.According to Arendse, producing one kilo of virgin plastic requires two kilos of crude oil. Redirecting to recycled material reduces both CO2 emissions (around 30% vs. virgin plastic, based on SMALLrevolution's own LCAs) and crude oil demand.Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction and origins of SMALLrevolution02:00 - Why recycled plastic for outdoor furniture?05:00 - Finding the first factory willing to work with household plastic waste07:00 - How COVID pivoted SMALLrevolution from B2C to B2B08:00 - The closed-loop model: collect, produce, return09:00 - LCAs and ESG data on every product10:00 - What actually happens to plastic in the "normal" waste stream?12:00 - Why sorting quality, not collection, is the real bottleneck14:00 - How hospitals can get started: two live case studies18:00 - The "not another bucket" problem in surgical theatres21:00 - CO2 impact: around 30% reduction vs. virgin plastic (based on SMALLrevolution's own LCAs)23:00 - According to Arendse: 2 kg of crude oil per 1 kg of plastic, and what that means for resource resiliencePull quote: "All vases in the world should be produced in a recycled material. There is demand, and there is a lot of waste, so why not connect those two dots?"

    103 - Anna Roe Rasmussen - What happens when a doctor applies the rigour of clinical research to the carbon footprint of surgery?

    What happens when a doctor applies the rigour of clinical research to the carbon footprint of surgery? In this episode, Frederik speaks with Anna Roe Rasmussen, MD, MSc Health Policy — a scientific researcher at the Regional Unit for the Green Transition in Region Zealand. Anna recently defended her PhD at the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark, where she applied lifecycle assessment (LCA) to total hip replacement surgery, working towards the integration of environmental impact into clinical decision-making. About Anna: Anna has spent over a decade at the intersection of climate and health — as a co-founder of Doctors for Climate Denmark (Læger for Klimaet), as part of the working group that drafted the Danish Medical Association's climate and health policy (published 2022), and as a scientific researcher applying LCA methodology to surgical care pathways. Three things you'll take away: Why the field needs to distinguish more clearly between carbon footprint screenings and full ISO-compliant LCAs — and what gets lost when clinicians can't tell the difference.Why specialty-level carbon literacy is the missing link between organisational sustainability targets and meaningful action on the ground in clinical departments.Why acting — finding someone to act with — is Anna's personal antidote to climate anxiety.Timestamps: 00:00 — Introduction03:00 — Anna's PhD: applying LCA to total hip replacement surgery08:00 — From medical student at COP to co-founding Doctors for Climate Denmark10:00 — The Danish Medical Association's 2022 climate and health policy13:00 — A passionate but fragmented global movement of healthcare workers17:00 — The publication explosion in healthcare LCA — and why quality must keep pace21:00 — Carbon screening vs. ISO-compliant LCA: the precision vs. direction trade-off27:00 — Specialty-level carbon literacy as the next step for healthcare decarbonisation33:00 — Carbon budgets and financial budgets: an uncomfortable but necessary analogy38:00 — The hard conversations healthcare systems avoid41:00 — What makes Anna hopeful: engaged colleagues and the power of acting togetherReferences and links mentioned: ISO 14040/14044 standards for lifecycle assessment (see iso.org)DTU Centre for Absolute SustainabilityDoctors for Climate Denmark / Læger for Klimaet — Facebook [Joachim/Frederik: add official website if available]Danish Medical Association climate and health policy 2022 [Frederik: add direct link]International Federation of Medical Students' Associations: ifmsa.orgGuest links: Anna Roe Rasmussen on LinkedInSjællands UniversitetshospitalDTU Centre for Absolute SustainabilityYou might also enjoy: Episode 097: Visualising Circular Healthcare — Tamara Hoveling (TU Delft) on LCA methodology in healthcareEpisode 101: Sustainable Healthcare: Implementation and Hope — Maria GadenEpisode 088: Circular Material Flow in the ICU — Nicole Hunfeld (Erasmus UMC)[Episode Spotify/platform links to be added by Frederik] Hosts: Joachim Almdal on LinkedInFrederik van Deurs on LinkedInCare Pathway ConsultingPull quote: "If you want to do something — act.
