Musgrove Park Badge Hats Implementation 2025

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.

 

The SOP, developed in collaboration with Somerset, 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.


The Case Study details the methodology behind the rollout, including the number of hats and badges ordered. It also offers a compelling analysis of both cost savings and the reduction in CO2 emissions achieved by switching from disposables, which is an important consideration for trusts focused on sustainability goals.

 

Notably, the Case Study highlights improvements in name and role recognition, supporting better teamwork and communication on the ground. 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.


We have also added a Document Download area within our website, this is aimed at having all of our research and studies available for you to download and understand the long term benefits of our reusable name and role badge hats. We we will be updating this area in the coming weeks.
