At Seal Medical, we are deeply committed to sustainability and aligning with the NHS's ambition to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Recognising the significant impact that climate change has on public health and the environment, we play an active role in helping the NHS meet its sustainability objectives.
Our reconditioned equipment offers practical, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solutions to meet the growing demand for medical equipment while reducing the carbon footprint.
How Seal Medical Supports the NHS Net Zero Strategy:
- Carbon Emission Reduction: Manufacturing new medical equipment requires substantial energy and raw materials, contributing significantly to carbon emissions. By providing reconditioned treatment couches, alongside ECG’s, suction units, defibrillators and more we help the NHS lower its carbon footprint associated with manufacturing, transportation, and waste management. Choosing reconditioned equipment is a simple yet effective way to reduce emissions and support a greener healthcare system.
- Waste Minimisation: Reconditioning medical devices extends their lifecycle, effectively reducing waste and the need for new resources. By opting for reconditioned couches, the NHS can play a key role in promoting a circular economy, where products are reused, refurbished, and repurposed. This approach supports the NHS's efforts to minimise waste sent to landfills, benefiting both the environment and public health.
- Cost Savings: Reconditioned treatment couches are available at lower prices than new units, offering significant cost savings. These savings allow NHS Trusts to allocate funds more efficiently, making room for further investment in sustainability initiatives. Lowering capital expenditure while maintaining high standards of care is a win-win for both the NHS and the environment.
- Repairs/Disposal Along side Seal Calibration we offer medical equipment disposal and repairs to medical equipment ensuring the lifespan of your medical equipment is expanded and optimised to optimise sustainability for your practice.
Supporting NHS Policies and Guidelines:
Seal Medical aligns with the NHS’s drive towards sustainable procurement, as outlined in key NHS policies such as the Device Remanufacture ‘How To’ Guide and the NHS Net Zero Strategy. The NHS has highlighted the importance of remanufacturing and reconditioning medical devices to extend their life, reduce waste, and contribute to carbon reduction goals.
By choosing Seal Medical’s reconditioned treatment couches, the NHS is directly supporting these strategies and ensuring that its procurement practices align with the goals of a net-zero healthcare system.
Seal Medical’s Commitment:
We are proud to offer high-quality reconditioned treatment couches and more that meet the strict standards of the NHS, ensuring both environmental sustainability and cost-efficiency. By choosing Seal Medical, healthcare organisations can help the NHS achieve its net-zero ambitions while maintaining exceptional standards of care for patients.
Let us work together to build a sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally-conscious future.
