AHCS Webinar: Sustainability and the Circular Economy in the NHS

Summary

We are delighted to announce the next installment in our webinar series. These webinars are free to attend and are open to all.

Date: 9th October 2025

Time: 12:00 – 13:20

Location: Virtual – Microsoft Teams

Continuing our AHCS Webinar Series, chaired by Professor Stephen O’Connor we are now focusing on sustainability in healthcare within our NHS. We are delighted to present two speakers at the cutting edge of sustainability.

Alexandra Hammond, a highly respected and influential scientist and procurement expert from NHS England, will present the current successes, challenges and ethical issues in procurement for the NHS at a national level. We shall also hear about the wider supply chain delivering an 80% reduction in emissions by 2036-2039 and Net Zero by 2045.

Our second speaker is Dr Hammad Jeilani, co-founder and Medical Director of Apian Limited, a healthcare logistics company using drones. Hammad is a highly accomplished professional with extensive experience in the medical and entrepreneurial sectors. We shall be informed of the benefits of drones to deliver pathology samples to a central laboratory facility or medication between hospitals cheaper, faster and in a more carbon efficient manner.

After our 30-minute presentations, there will be time for questions, comments and discussion, since we believe this is where others can adapt their technology and ideas for their own commitment to a sustainable healthcare system. We hope that this webinar stimulates your appetite to engage in a sustainable environment for your national health service.

We encourage you to share this event with your colleagues and AHCS look forward to seeing you there.
