Energy-saving tip: only boil what you need. 🍵

Overfilling the kettle daily = £150+ in wasted energy each year. Fill for one cup, save for many.

Energy-saving tip: shut down computers and monitors, don’t just leave them on standby.

One monitor left on can cost £10 per year. Across the Trust? Thousands. Help us cut the waste – power down. 🌎

Today is World Environment Day, and energy savings support patient care.

Energy-saving tip: unplug chargers and equipment not in use. A plugged-in phone charger can cost £5–£10 per year.

Unplugging is easy, and each small action counts. 🔌🌎

Had an appointment since then? Tell us about communication, your experience & overall satisfaction.
