We're thrilled to have won the Best Carbon Reduction Initiative award at the 2024 Building Better Healthcare Awards!
Our hospital, in collaboration with SageTech Medical, took home the award for the integration of SageTech's groundbreaking SID-Dock system to capture and recycle anaesthetic gas in our operating theatres.
Huge credit to our fantastic team, who attended the awards ceremony at The Brewery, London on November 6, 2024, joining many prominent organisations in recognising innovation and excellence in healthcare design, technology, and patient experience.
The innovative SageTech system is now making a difference in our operating theatres, cutting emissions and setting a new standard for sustainability in healthcare.
Jane Abbott, Director of Benenden Hospital, said:
"As part of our sustainability strategy, we've paid particular focus to limiting the impact our hospital has on the environment. Working with a fantastic company such as SageTech to integrate their state-of-the-art technology underlines our commitment to carbon reduction."
When implemented across the hospital, SageTech Medical’s volatile gas capture solution could prevent up to 370 tonnes of CO2e emissions being released into the atmosphere over the equipment’s lifetime.
Luke Rawlinson, SageTech Medical's Head of Commercial said:
"The Benenden Hospital team have been great to work with and have taken decisive action to reduce pollution from anaesthetic gases with our capture technology. This supports Benenden Hospital’s strategic goals on sustainability, and we are pleased to have been selected as the partner of choice."
