We are pleased to share a major milestone with our clinical partners. An approved Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and a Preliminary Case Study are now available to support hospitals in implementing reusable badge hats confidently and sustainably.

About the SOP

The SOP, developed in collaboration with Somerset NHS, outlines the trust's laundering process for hats and the cleaning protocol for badges. It serves as a practical guide for clinical teams looking to adopt best practices while maintaining hygiene and safety standards.

About the Case Study

The Case Study details the methodology behind the rollout, including the number of hats and badges ordered. It offers a compelling analysis of both cost savings and the reduction in CO₂ emissions achieved by switching from disposables — an important consideration for trusts focused on sustainability goals. It also highlights improvements in name and role recognition, supporting better teamwork and communication.

Feedback from clinical staff has been encouraging, with several unexpected benefits emerging after implementation. Together, these resources provide an evidence-based foundation to help hospitals make informed decisions and realise the human, financial and environmental advantages of transitioning to reusable solutions.
