Healthcare is one of the world's largest contributors to environmental pollution. That's not an opinion, it's data. And it's something our specialty can no longer ignore. 🙌

On Earth Day, we want to highlight the work of the FESSH Green Special Interest Group, a growing community of surgeons committed to more environmentally responsible practice, without compromising patient outcomes. From reducing operating room waste to rethinking materials and anaesthesia choices, the focus is firmly on practical, evidence-based change. 💚

♻️ This isn't about perfection. It's about making better decisions, one procedure at a time.

If this resonates with you, we'd love to have you involved. 📩 greenhandsurgery@fessh.com
