3 maanden geleden

Utrecht, Nederland UMC Utrecht Voltijd

In this multidisciplinary project, you'll develop concepts for hospitals to shift from single-use consumables to circular solutions, focusing on eye surgery and kidney care, in close collaboration with medical specialists and suppliers.**Elke dag de zorg en de gezondheid van mensen verbeteren**Goede arbeidsvoorwaarden**Jezelf continu blijven ontwikkelen vinden we belangrijk**

**Dit ga je doen**

In this PhD-project, two clinical cases will be investigated with the objective of a structural reduction in waste and carbon footprint. All aspects of the relevant consumables, from LCA, design, production, usage, to disposal will be targeted. The two cases are eye surgery and kidney care.

Cataract surgery is the most common surgical procedure nationally and internationally, with approximately 180 000 procedures per year in the Netherlands. It is a highly standardized procedure, using similar instruments and techniques. Infection is the most feared complication and this risk has been a major driver for the increasing use of disposables. Together with experts from DORC, a world-leading company in eye surgery equipment, you will develop new circular concepts.

Kidney care, in particular dialysis, has a disproportionately high ecologic footprint within healthcare through greenhouse emissions, natural resources depletion and waste generation. Dialysis is 18 times more resource intensive than the general healthcare emissions burden of a typical patient. A typical haemodialysis session uses ~400L of tap water and ~20 kWh per patient and produces several kgs of waste. Thus, there is an urgent need to drastically lower the footprint of dialysis. You will work on the (co-)development of sustainable technological innovations for dialysis and the implementation of innovative green solutions into the new dialysis unit at UMC Utrecht.
