Revolution-ZERO in partnership with the University of Southampton and University College of London are developing a suite of tools that has the potential to save more than 190,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions and £90 million in costs per year for the UK NHS compared to 2023. They are doing this through developing novel chemistry and protocols for the wash processes that will allow for lower temperature and more effective cleaning of medical textiles. They are concurrently developing the next generation of cleaning and disinfection validation technologies utilising advanced microbiological analysis and a new in wash marker system paired with machine vision (AI) techniques.

Pathpoint SurgiCare- Net Zero Initiative: cloud based workflow solution helping clinicians to prepare patients for surgery, facilitate sustainable decision making, and support recovery at home.

Our offering aims to provide a digital solution for the full perioperative care processes, from remotely delivered pre-admission clinics, sustainability-promoting clinical decision support, to patient-initiated follow-up and symptom monitoring.

Carbon impact of moving care closer to home will be measured to ensure that reductions in travel and length of inpatient stay achieved are not outweighed by increases elsewhere. This new service model for 21st century care aims to empower clinicians and patients to choose more sustainable surgical pathways.

Harnessing the power of digital cloud technology, PathpointTM eDerma provides a unified, web-based solution to deliver and end-to-end two-week wait pathway starting at a patient’s first presentation to a GP, to the detailed dermatologist assessment, and the minor operation (biopsy/excision) that may be necessitated. The digital solution resolves the lag time between a referral and the definitive diagnostic intervention: dermoscopy and biopsy with up to 97.7% of patients being diagnosed or scheduled for a definitive diagnostic intervention within 48 hours of referral. Patients are kept fully informed throughout the chain of events, consent is sought within the software and therapy advice communicated via digital leaflets and videos whilst integration with local and national systems maintains seamless data flow.
