Dr Pei Kee Poh won an award at the EMSA Summer meeting 2019, for his project to reduce the plastic waste from single use plastic drinking cups in hospitals.  This innovative project secured funding and sponsorship from a range of organisations in order to provide reusable mugs for all anaesthetists in training and for departments within the East Midlands School of Anaesthesia.

The intended outcomes of the project are

  • Reduce plastic waste
  • Reduce cost
