\"TPCH

TPCH gardeners (l to r): Geoffrey Parker, Ben Pham and Gordon Bone with the newly converted gardening equipment.<\/p><\/div>\n

The transition, which is an initiative of Green Metro North – Sustainability Strategy 2021-2026<\/a>, represents Metro North Health\u2019s commitment to take action towards environmental sustainability and delivery of high quality health services for the community and future generations.<\/p>\n

The conversion of the gardening equipment will not only reduce emissions; it will mean lighter equipment for the gardeners and quieter green spaces for everyone on the campus and the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n

TPCH is one of a number of Metro North facilities to undergo the conversion, with RBWH, Northlakes and Brighton also acquiring the new equipment.<\/p>\n

Green Teams are now established at all Metro North facilities including TPCH which established its Green Team late last year. The Green Team provides an opportunity for staff to share their ideas about how we can make TPCH a more environmentally responsible place for our staff, patients and visitors.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to learn more about or get involved in TPCH Green Team, please email: TPCHGreenTeam@health.qld.gov.au<\/a><\/p>\n
