***BREAKING NEWS*** AXREM Publishes Sustainability Manifesto with Safari at Kent Wildlife Trust We acknowledge the pressing imperative to tackle climate change, particularly its profound impact on public health, including heightened rates of cardiovascular disease, asthma, and cancer among the population, which directly concerns the NHS. AXREM members, are steadfast in their commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and actively support the NHS Net Zero roadmap. Recognising that the NHS England can influence supplier emissions through greener procurement practices, AXREM understands the pivotal role industry must play in achieving these goals. Therefore, collaboration between the NHS and its suppliers is indispensable for success. The core value within our manifesto include: Shaping the future for generation to come, Equity & inclusion, Community engagement, Ethical practices and empowerment. To mark the publication of the manifesto AXREM has been working with Wilder Carbon and members will be meeting later today at the Wilder Blean Initiative managed by Kent Wildlife Trust. In the UK, lack of woodland management is one of the eight biggest drivers of species decline. Similar projects across Europe have proved that bison, known as ‘ecosystem engineers’, can restore the natural biodiversity of a landscape. Natural bison behaviours – grazing, dust bathing, eating bark and felling trees – enable other species to thrive. The presence of bison at the Blean, alongside Exmoor ponies and Iron-Age pigs, will transform the woods into a lush, thriving, biodiverse environment once more. Helen Gillespie-Brown, Wilder Carbon Business Development Manager said “We are delighted to be hosting AXREM at the Wilder Blean initiative to help support the launch of their new Sustainability manifesto as well as sharing more about how Wilder Carbon are attempting to address climate change and biodiversity loss through nature restoration. Nature is, after all, the infrastructure on which we all ultimately rely. We need to protect and restore carbon rich native habitats across the UK for climate, for wildlife, and for society.” Chris Taylor, AXREM Sustainability & Social Value Special Focus Group Convenor and Sustainability Lead UKI at Philips said “At AXREM we recognise that collaboration is key function in achieving a more sustainable healthcare Industry. So, we are proud to align the launch of our sustainability manifesto, with impactful environmental initiatives like the Wilder Blean project, run by Kent Wildlife Trust, which work to transform woodlands into a lush, thriving, biodiverse environment once more".

Is the #burnout mood in radiology starting to finally lighten up? A recent AMA survey* finds that for the first time since 2020, the physician burnout rate in the U.S. has fallen below 50%. Burnout rates dropped from 63% in 2021 to 53% in 2022 to 48% last year – a trajectory that hopefully continues through the end of this year. AMA also found that job stress for physicians fell from 56% to 51% over this period. At the same time, a separate study in Radiology** suggests that while attrition among radiologists is smaller compared to other specialties, the field is suffering from too few new radiologists being trained today. These two trends go hand-in-hand: one of the best ways to combat burnout and onboard new radiologists faster is to provide them with an industry-leading, battle-tested portfolio of imaging solutions that transform workflows, simplify complexity, and provide physicians with more time to spend on patient care, rather than paper and process. Is your practice still feeling the throes of post-pandemic burnout and stress? Let’s chat about it – and see for yourself how Merge imaging solutions are helping organizations and clinicians like yours to conquer burnout and bring new hires into the fold faster. *Source: https://lnkd.in/gaCgGEcz **Source: https://lnkd.in/d9T545gG https://lnkd.in/dGP_Eprm

Downtime may be impossible to predict, but it’s inevitable – and why it’s so crucial for #imaging organizations to be proactive in their monitoring and pre-crisis downtime contingencies. If something goes down, it risks everything from delayed care and rerouted patients to immense case backlogs that take nights and weekends to get through. That’s what motivated the team at McFarland Clinic to seek a reliable backstop against downtime – and why they landed at Merge. Learn more about how Chris Gunderson, #PACS administrator for McFarland, was able to shrink downtime and recovery from months to just 15 minutes, thanks to support from the Merge #imaging portfolio, with little to no disruptions to workflow or patient care. https://lnkd.in/e2Zu9Q99
