Year Two UG
• Clinical skills sessions on waste management.
• The development of the Sustainability and Health
Scenario Teaching Pack is evidenced based and has
been shown to offer students and staff the
opportunity to raise awareness about resource
depletion and the cost of waste. This has enabled
mitigation and adaptation strategies to be developed
which directly address the identification of alternative
materials, more sustainable ways of working and how
to reduce costs through the effective management of
waste.
