Reusable theatre caps made from plant-based material
The Golden Jubilee University National Hospital in Clydebank, near Glasgow, has become the first hospital UK to co-design reusable theatre caps made from sustainable plant-based material as part of a research project led by the University of Strathclyde and Heriot-Watt University.
The project aims to reduce waste created by single-use disposable theatre cap products used by NHS Scotland while alleviating patient anxiety and improving the identification of theatre staff roles.
