All healthcare providers should manage and segregate their waste using the HTM 07-01 Guidance document; Safe and Sustainable Management of Healthcare Waste (2023) and ensure that a robust audit and review programme is in place. The pre-acceptance audit requires a level of expertise that may not always be available within the organisation itself. Verdis is an industry-recognised expert healthcare waste audit provider, at the forefront of best practice and legislative guidance.
