Vanguard is part of the CleanMed Europe 2021

The CleanMed Europe will be held online from 29 November – 3 December 2021.

CleanMed Europe is the most important forum where healthcare leaders come together from across Europe and beyond to share ideas, innovations, problems, and solutions for sustainability in European healthcare.

Hosted by Health Care Without Harm Europe, the conference showcases cutting-edge practices in sustainable healthcare and is the ideal venue for healthcare innovators to network and share ideas, finding new ways to drive change within their organisations and communities.

This year’s theme for CleanMed Europe is Designing tomorrow’s healthcare.

As we plan our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change and environmental degradation pose increasing long term threats to the health and wellbeing of people across the world. There is now an unprecedented opportunity to reshape healthcare so that it can meet the needs of tomorrow – creating a service that is sustainable, equitable, and resilient to growing environmental health threats and future pandemics.

Save the date: Wednesday, December 1, 2021 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM

To promote the goal of enabling the circular economy for complex medical devices Vanguard will contribute to the session “The waste hierarchy in practice (Part 1): Reprocessing medical devices”.
