How can we deliver high quality urological care while reducing carbon emissions?
Here we explore & discusses evidence based decarbonisation in urology through a whole system lens, with practical actions
#SustainableHealthcare #SustainableUrology

bjui-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Perspectives on technology: All STEPS count – an integrated framework for net zero urological care

Objective
To present a narrative review of evidence to guide the delivery of high-quality, low-carbon urological care using a
structured framework.
Methods
Academic and policy papers which outline actions focused on decarbonising urological care and surgical care more broadly
were identiﬁed and reviewed. The ‘STEPS to Low-Carbon Care’ framework (an acronym for low-carbon care across
‘Settings and Treatments, Efﬁciency, Prevention and System change’) was then used to categorise and present the
evidence-based decarbonisation actions, using the National Health Service in England as a case study.
Results
Across all STEPS framework elements, tangible actions were identiﬁed alongside opportunities for future research and
innovation. The evidence-based actions that were identiﬁed to transition to low-carbon care settings and treatments
included tackling known carbon hotspots in operating theatres: anaesthetic gases, consumables and electricity use. Outside
the operating theatre, urology pathway transformation through one-stop clinics, day-case surgery, appropriate use of virtual
appointments and streamlined pathways demonstrated opportunities to reduce carbon emissions, with potential additional
beneﬁts in terms of cost, efﬁciencies, and patient outcome improvements. Key climate mitigation actions that support
keeping people healthy were identiﬁed. There was a paucity of evidence demonstrating the implementation of climate
change action as part of routine service delivery. Embedding sustainability across organisational processes and ways of
working requires actions to upskill, engage and enable the workforce to deliver and to establish clinical leadership.
Conclusion
This review identiﬁed a range of interventions to decarbonise urological care, whilst highlighting a need for further
research. Categorising the evidence according to components of the STEPS framework indicated …
