Hospital uniforms generate substantial waste and significantly contribute to the environmental footprint of a healthcare institution. On 1 February 2024, we were part of the Sustainability Festival at the National Cancer Centre Singapore where we set up an information booth on sustainable textile practices and conducted a uniform repurposing workshop for nurses and staff. At the information booth, we invited representives from the NCCS Leadership team, doctors, nurses, and patients to write messages of encouragement on small fabric hearts made out of repurposed NCCS uniforms. This activity connected the theme of sustainabilty with health and highlighted the importance of how every member of the community – from student, to apprentice to lifelong learner at the workplace - can help advance Singapore's sustainable development agenda. The Sustainability Festival was coordinated by Assoc Prof Joanne Ngeow Yuen Yie, Senior Consultant, as well as the dedicated nurses team of GReening Oncology Up aNd Down (GROUND) initiative, led by Beng Choo Tay.
