Dear All
 
As a core member of the EFLM green lab taskforce, I am excited to share the publication of the first edition of EFLM Guidelines for Green and Sustainable Laboratories.
 

The mission of the EFLM TASK-FORCE GREEN LABS is to help laboratories in achieving environmental targets. In this current climate health emergency 'Laboratory Medicine should contribute to a sustainable healthcare system ensuring that resources are used efficiently from ecological, social, and economical perspectives, while providing high-quality services to patients and physicians'.

Led by Prof. Tomris Ozben, EFLM President and Chair of the EFLM Task-Force Green Labs, the EFLM GL Taskforce’s main aim is to provide guidance and education via national professional bodies to support medical laboratory professionals to achieve greener and more sustainable practices.

From reducing waste to carbon reduction, these guidelines are designed to help laboratories become more environmentally sound.
 
Please visit the EFLM GL Taskforce homepage for an overview of further plans.

I look forward to sharing further progess in the coming months,

Sheri Scott, NTU
