#greenendoscopy seems like a complex, insurmountable challenge. But it doesn't have to be. We're working to 4 principles to help structure change: "MINIMISE (waste), MAXIMISE (sustainable practice), DEVELOP (collaborations), ENABLE (improvements)". Other factors frame these 4

🌎🥣An early gift from the North Bowl! Adding to our #Greendoscopy project, no more single use, plastic coated, non-recyclable, incinerated, social wash pots for us. Instead we're using reusable metal bowls. No waste, no fuss! 🥣🌎 @RCHT_SSD @RchtE

Governments at #COP27 seem to be opting for yet more dither & delay. That is *unforgivable*. The climate crisis is a health crisis. Most liver disease is preventable- slashing fossil fuels, active transport, clean air, plant predominant diets are good for planet & liver health.

Thank you for this analysis @chantelle_rizan It is concerning that single use scopes are being proposed based on questionable data & analysis @GreenEndoscopy @anjan_dhar6 @DrBuHayee @drkeithsiau @williamstablef1 @gastrosid @dremmaw @swapnagayam @SarahTom123 @LeighDonnelly4
Letter to editor highlighting methodological concerns in study ‘The Carbon Footprint of Single-Use Flexible Cystoscopes Compared to Reusable Cystoscopes’ (PMID: 35607858) …led to erroneous conclusion that single-use is “better” https://t.co/7aLLzqTIqR

This is a great example of paper reduction to make Endoscopy Greener 👏👏👏
Great initiative from @annaReichelt2, LRI Endoscopy Sister. QR codes for patient information, saving paper and helping our green endoscopy incentive . To be rolled out across all our endoscopy units

AI in endoscopy will be key to achieving a greener endoscopy. Future is AI!! Future is greener!! #sustainable @GreenEndoscopy
Now in @AGA_CGH: #AI-supported diagnose+leave = safe for small polyps & ⬇️cost by 80% (less polypectomy + path) Clear data.. clinical adoption? Not so fast: 🇺🇸 system incentivizes ($) polypectomy. Practice changes unlikely unless economic model changes. https://t.co/rnZ8YTBmHM
