Abstract

The carbon footprint of the National Health Service (NHS) is estimated to be responsible for 5.9% of the total UK carbon footprint. The NHS has committed to reach carbon net zero by 2040, and therefore, all healthcare professionals have a role to play in identifying ways to help achieve this goal within their individual clinical areas. While specific research focusing on the carbon footprint of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) care is limited, by combining principles of sustainable healthcare with work done in other healthcare areas, we can start to develop ideas to inspire our own sustainable IBD care. The aim of this review article is to examine each part of the IBD care pathway and consider where improvements in sustainability can be made or future research should be focused.

如何改善 IBD 临床护理的碳足迹？

据估计，英国国家医疗服务系统（NHS）的碳足迹占英国碳足迹总量的 5.9%。英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）承诺到 2040 年实现零碳排放，因此，所有医疗保健专业人员都有责任在各自的临床领域内找出帮助实现这一目标的方法。虽然针对炎症性肠病（IBD）护理碳足迹的具体研究有限，但通过将可持续医疗保健原则与其他医疗保健领域的工作相结合，我们可以开始提出一些想法，以启发我们自己的可持续 IBD 护理。这篇综述文章旨在研究 IBD 护理路径的各个环节，并考虑可在哪些方面改进可持续发展或未来研究的重点。
