Sustainability is a priority for all NHS Trusts in the UK, and our eco-friendly name and role theatre hats have been very well received at The Royal Liverpool, which sent a press release out recently. The main aims were creating a Greener NHS and improving communication amongst staff and patients.

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (LUHFT)

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is at the forefront of trusts nationally to introduce eco-friendly theatre caps. The caps have now been rolled out for many theatre staff at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, with plans to introduce them trust-wide imminently.

The caps make it easier to identify specific individuals — beneficial for patients who can better identify who is caring for them, and for colleagues in cross-team working and fast-paced emergency scenarios such as resuscitation.

Dr Mruga Diwan, Consultant Anaesthetist at Liverpool University Hospitals, has been involved in implementing the reusable caps at the Trust: "The use of reusable named theatre caps enables better communication, and since wearing our own personalised caps we have noticed an improvement not only between staff engagement, but also for our patients."

Case Study

We now have a case study on our reusable theatre hats which we are happy to share with you on request. If you missed our previous study where we gathered information from NHS hospital staff to prove the value and purpose of named cloth hats, please get in touch.

NHSSC Framework

We are working hard to get our new product designs onto the NHSSC Framework to make it easier for trusts to purchase hats from us. We hope to have some very exciting news about this soon.

Multicultural Theatre Hats

We have a unique hat designed to help many African and Caribbean clinicians in medicine, as they face significant barriers when wearing headwear in the theatre environment. There are no standard designs of theatre headwear suitable for staff with hair braids or dreadlocks. We now have both disposable and reusable options available to help many clinicians be more comfortable at work.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or would like help making the change to reusable theatre hats.
