CUH Sustainability

Think Green engages with staff, patients and the wider community to share information and encourage healthier and more sustainable behaviours.

Teams across our hospitals reviewed the use of sliding sheets as part of a project to reduce pressure ulcers.

The sheets can be laundered and reused, a step towards the circular economy we're aiming for 👏

🌿What impact could a community garden have in a hospital environment, and why is it needed? 🌿
We’re delighted to share our poster, outlining a shared vision for a community garden at CUH, see it now on our website: https://t.co/wfTNm2CRKe

The #safercambs team are on Campus in front of @RoyalPapworth until 3pm to help register your bike for free so it can be recovered if it gets stolen.

[Camcycle @camcycle]

Congratulations to our team of volunteers who helped @CambsCops mark and register 154 cycles at the Biomedical Campus today! Marked cycles discourage thieves and those logged on @bikeregister are more likely to be returned if they are ever stolen.

Our #CUHCommunityGarden Project has been off to a wonderful start!🌻
So far staff and patients have visited Clay Farm Garden, Rock Road Library Gardens and @CUBotanicGarden. We've enjoyed learning what a Community Garden could bring to @CUH_NHS.🌿

Last week we rehomed over 350 plants, which ranged from small cuttings to fully grown plants, to approximately 300 members of CUH staff! 🪴

All the plants were either swaps by staff, or were donated from the CUH Gardening team, Darwin Nurseries (NHS) or from CUH staff❤️

@ThinkGreen_CUH many thanks for the amazing plants!

What a great way to improve staff mental health and wellbeing.

Keep up the good work!

I have some Athyrium (rare) ferns if anyone would like that has a suitable outdoor space.

DM me if interested. Or want any spider babies!
