The Big Green Money Show

Medicines and Healthcare, with GSK

Listen on

Episode notes

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. As always, if you have a question for the Green Money team, get in touch on Twitter using the hashtag #GreenMoneyShow or email [email protected].
