About the project
KitNewCare supports the development of environmentally sustainable and climate neutral health and care systems. There is no agreed system of environmental foot printing in the health system and few partnerships with industry and patients to develop a truly sustainable neutral health and care system. Kidney care is a suited test case with its large resource footprint and well-defined care pathways.
The project co-develops and pilots sustainable tools, innovative solutions, training, guidelines and recommendations as a proof of concept which can then be applied to the healthcare system. Stakeholder interaction and a Patient and Public Involvement programme will ensure proper design, uptake, dissemination and exploitation. This will enable decision makers and healthcare providers to reduce pollution, carbon emissions, and waste.
