In this award-winning case example, Yorkshire Vets carried out an initiative to reduce the use of oxygen and volatile anaesthetic gases by auditing fresh gas flow rates within the practice. This nurse-led initiative included team training leading to a substantial overall reduction in oxygen and isoflurane use. The reduction in carbon footprint is equivalent to driving 2,023 miles (Leeds to Andorra, or London to Rome, and back!).
