Medicines and Healthcare, with GSK
Deborah & Fliss investigate healthcare after a listener who works in the NHS gets in touch. Plus, the one vital medical device that accounts for half of drug maker GSK's emsisions.
From disposable gloves to surgical instruments, how could healthcare be greener?
Can we prescribe medicines in greener ways? And can we reduce paper use and other forms of waste?
Deborah and Fliss chat to an expert in sustainablity in healthcare about what the NHS is getting right and what needs to change.
Plus they learn about drug maker GSK, formerly known as GlaxoSmithKline. It is looking at ways to reduce the impact of asthma inhalers, which contribute to almost half of its carbon footprint. Find out why and what's being done about it.
