Sustainable Healthcare
In Nederland is de zorgsector verantwoordelijk voor 7% van de broeikasgassen uitstoot, 4% van het afval en 13% van het grondstoffenverbruik. Met het leveren van zorg draagt de sector dus bij aan de klimaatcrisis. Het is deze paradox die de zorg wil doorbreken. Deze Learning Community richt zich op duurzame gezondheidszorg en interdisciplinaire samenwerking. Dit betekent dat je als onderdeel van een community in contact staat met anderen. Je wisselt informatie uit met medestudenten en geeft elkaar feedback. Ziekenhuizen, leveranciers en inkooporganisaties nemen ook deel aan de Learning Community en geven je professionele feedback. Communicatie is belangrijk bij het uitvoeren van je opdracht, net als het betrekken van anderen bij je onderzoek en het onderhouden van contact met verschillende partijen.
