A Sustainable System

A sustainable healthcare system improves overall public health by minimising pollution, improving air quality, and reducing exposure to hazardous materials. Air pollution and toxic waste contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. By adopting sustainable practices, Ireland can address health challenges linked to environmental degradation, improving population health and reducing the strain on services. Ireland, as a member of the European Union, has committed to sustainability goals, including the European Green Deal. The healthcare sector plays a crucial role in helping Ireland achieve these targets, by reducing GHGs and promoting the circular economy. Healthcare can demonstrate leadership in circularity lifecycle by reviewing products and services as a system for reusability. Extend producer responsibility and challenge suppliers to take it back, so we can reuse, recycle.

Carbon Reduction

As a link between the manufacturers of medical products and the end users, we must integrate climate resilience into our business strategies, conducting risk assessments and planning for the future to safeguard against disruptions that may effect our supply chains and infrastructure. By prioritising proactive resilience planning, we can mitigate risks and enhance our capacity to withstand future storms. The time for action is now. Building a climate-resilient business is essential not only for our survival but for ensuring long-term success in an increasingly unpredictable world. To this end we are adopting a forward thinking strategy that will focus on our approach to reducing our own carbon footprint.

New Quality & Compliance Manager Appointed

Dr. Tamar brings extensive experience in quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and project management within the medical device sector. In this role, Dr. Tamar will oversee the development, implementation, and maintenance of quality management systems, ensuring compliance with ISO 9001:2015 and regulatory requirements, including EU MDR and IVD regulations. She will provide expert guidance on quality processes, identify areas for improvement, and lead the resolution of technical and compliance issues. Dr. Tamar will also support project teams to ensure timely and efficient delivery of projects, maintaining both quality and regulatory standards throughout.

Achieving Net Zero

It is undeniable that climate change is happening and creating dire consequences for the planet. The risks associated with climate change have direct and indirect impacts on the environment, human populations, society and global security. To help mitigate against this risk from an Irish perspective and play a role in reducing national carbon emissions, the Irish government released the National Climate Action Plan. This report sets out a roadmap to guide the country to a more sustainable future and to make an attempt to tackle global warming. One main goal is to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and to reach zero emissions by 2050. The Climate Action Plan not only aims to play a role in protecting the planet but simultaneously creating economic opportunities. A greener economy and society is one in which benefits all and will secure a future for generations to come.

At Irish Hospital Supplies, we always endeavor to champion the benefits of sustainability practices within the organisation and in each and every supplier and customer engagement.

Collaborating With Our Community

One thing we’ve found to be true is that no one is successful all on their own. Whether they have a strong team behind them, or they collaborate with others outside their organisation to get the job done, every leader depends on others in some way to grow, learn and achieve their goals. No matter what line of work or industry you’re in, the time will come when you have to decide if forging partnerships with other companies will help propel your business forward. Sometimes, you’ll be asked to partner with other companies to ensure the success of both businesses. Or, in this case, partnering with an organisation that aligns with your value set, not only helps their business mission, but ultimately aligns with ours . . . in the case ‘we make lives better’

We’ve always believed that establishing business partnerships is one of the most important steps we can take to grow, learn and ultimately surpass our expectations of what’s possible. When looking to partner with others, there are a few things that we always take the time to consider, and we’ve found that whenever we follow these guidelines, we end up with strong partnerships that really stand the test of time.

– Take The Time To Choose
– Always Base Partnerships On Trust
– Define Your Parameters

To this end, the team at Irish Hospital Supplies are thrilled to collaborate with The Rehab Group

Children’s Hospital partner with IHS

In keeping with tradition, the new children’s hospital has chosen Irish Hospital Supplies to supply the latest Karl STORZ IMAGE1 S RUBINA for their surgical imaging solution as well as the Erbe VIO 3 state of the art electrosurgery units.

The CHI group have worked with Irish Hospital Supplies the Karl STORZ image 1 camera system platform and Erbe Electrosurgery for many years and our strong partnership will continue into the future with the installation of IMAGE1 S RUBINA and Erbe VIO 3 systems (https://vio.erbe-med.com/) in the new children’s hospital theatres.

KARL STORZ counts on the diamond standard in imaging and therefore stands for high image quality in the white light mode and, with Rubina, in the near infrared range.

Karl STORZ is regarded as one of the pioneers in the field of endoscopic imaging. 4K offers four times more resolution that Full HD. In addition, Image 1 S features innovative visualization technologies that support tissue differentiation.

IMAGE1 S™ Rubina® combines the latest 4K and fluorescence imaging technologies (NIR/ICG) in one product family. The products feature 4K image quality as well as various NIR/ICG fluorescence modes. The new Power LED Rubina® makes this possible. The new modes, e.g., the superimposed NIR/ICG signal in the white light image (Overlay), provide valuable information. In addition, IMAGE1 S™ Rubina® offers an intensity map of the NIR/ICG signal as well as a pure near infrared mode in monochromatic display for the clear delineation of structures.
