Abstract
The current climate crisis is the biggest risk to health in recent years. As a result the National Health Service (NHS) has a commitment to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2040. As healthcare professionals in Gastroenterology, we have a responsibility to ensure that our services are sustainable. By making changes to practice and re-examine the way we deliver patient care, we can safeguard a greener NHS for future generations.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
