Carbon Audit Results 2023

Our 2023 footprint was 15.18 Tonnes CO2e, down from 16.47 in 2022. The reduction was mainly due to a reduction in anaesthetic gas usage - although we actually did more anaesthetics in 2023, we have modified our anaesthetic protocols and equipment to reduce gas usage e.g. utilising more local anaesthetic techniques and purchasing a Humphrey ADE circuit for our Paignton surgery (we already used one at Torquay).  While not a perfect solution we do 'offset' our emissions and have chosen to support another project in the Amazon rainforest this year.
