Over the past few years, waste management has risen in importance for healthcare organisations across the UK Revised legislation, compliance with governance requirements, cost pressures, sustainability, limited resources and many other factors have contributed to the increased requirement to manage healthcare waste effectively and efficiently.

In this day and age, it is probable that no single healthcare manager can resolve all these factors; no single supplier can meet all the objectives and no single solution can meet all the requirements.  The key is for greater collaboration between the generators of healthcare waste and the service providers able to respond in terms of fitness-for-purpose, value for money and legislative compliance.

We have arranged a one day event with the NHS and the SMDSA to deliver you a “Meet the Contractors” seminar which will take place on Wednesday 28th October at the Hilton Coventry.   

Presentations will include:

       The Management and Disposal of Hospital Generated Healthcare Waste: Andy Stratton, Grundon Waste Management Ltd & another organisation

       The Management and Disposal of Community Generated Healthcare Waste: Dave Dingle and Kim Ormsby, Cannon Hygiene and Kensington & Chelsea PCT Shared Service

       Segregation & Disposal of Sharps: Peter Williamson, Daniels Healthcare Ltd

       The Range of Disposal Technologies Available: Paul Butler, Vetspeed Ltd

       The Contracting Processes in Healthcare Waste Management: Mark Davies, LPP Estates & Facilities
