Synopsis: At The Royal Children’s Hospital, we recognise the
impacts of healthcare delivery on the environment, that the health of the
environment directly affects children's health and that, by our positive
actions, we can further preserve "a world where all kids thrive". In honour of World Environment Day
on June 5th, the Campus Sustainability Committee is launching RCH's
first Sustainability Plan. We will discuss our ambition to build a more
sustainable hospital, how this Plan will be actioned, and highlight projects
which are already being implemented across Campus. This Grand Round will
provide ideas, inspiration and practical advice on how all staff can be
involved. As this will require institution-wide cultural and operational
change, the importance of participation at all levels cannot be overstated.
Speakers: Sandy Bell is
the Executive Director of Strategy, Planning and Performance at The Royal
Children’s Hospital and is the Chair of the Campus Sustainability Committee.

Health, building a vision and strategic plan for the future at both health
services.
Dr Karen Kiang is
a paediatrician at RCH, Chair of the MSA Subcommittee on Sustainability and
Climate Change and is an active member of the Campus Sustainability Committee.
She has a particular interest in equity and access issues for our vulnerable

equity gaps. She has clinical roles in General Medicine and the Emergency
Department.

Hospital in the Home alongside her non-clinical roles in Virtual Care and with the
Electronic Medical Record team. Joanna is also the Paediatric Lead of the

She advocates strongly for sustainable healthcare, is passionate about
innovative healthcare models that leverage technology to reduce unnecessary
