As part of our continuing growth journey, we’ve just completed a significant investment in our manufacturing site in Oldham, UK to manage growing product demand. Today, we have officially opened new state-of-the-art facilities, allowing for an increase in global manufacturing. The new facilities not only allow for an expansion of production, but help to reduce lead times and improve supply chain resilience for Mölnlycke advanced wound care products in the UK, and beyond. Michelle Burns, General Manager, Manufacturing UK, said: “This investment is an important step for our Oldham site, strengthening our ability to increase manufacturing of essential wound care products, while reducing transport distances and improving supply chain resilience. Having been part of the Oldham community since 1952, we’re proud of the role our team plays locally and within Mölnlycke’s global network, and this investment supports future growth.” #manufacturing Mölnlycke Health Care UK

We’ve taken another important step in accelerating the transition towards more sustainable healthcare in Sweden – including the environmental, social, and economic factors. Yesterday, our own Kristina Lönnqvist, Global Corporate Sustainability Director and @Emma Hellqvist, Commercial Sustainability Lead, Region North, joined Sweden’s National Climate Initiative’s first workshop on circular economy business models and solutions. The objective of the workshop was to align around shared priorities and identify goal-oriented workstreams for future collaboration across the value chain. To this end, the sessions focused on the many ways circularity principles can be applied to reduce healthcare’s carbon footprint and its dependency on finite fossil fuels, including: • circular product design • renewable raw materials • designing for longer lifve spans • recycling and resource recovery • circular business models • digital solutions enabling traceability throughout the product’s life cycle The conversations highlighted both the opportunities and complexities involved in advancing sustainable healthcare: delivering efficient patient outcomes while minimising the impact on people and planet and continuing to meet strict requirements related to patient safety, product performance, traceability and waste handling. “As we look to advance sustainable healthcare, we need solutions that support both healthcare professionals and patients, while also reducing environmental impact. It was very valuable to exchange perspectives across the value chain on how circular approaches can help address these challenges together,” says Emma Hellqvist, Commercial Sustainability Lead, Region North. Our thanks to RISE Research Institutes of Sweden for spearheading the workshop and the entire initiative and we look forward to continuing this important collaboration together with other stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem.

Globally, healthcare systems continue to struggle to meet the needs of our ever-growing population and with a shortfall of 5.8 million nurses worldwide [who.int], [who.int], the task at hand is complicated. Nurses form the backbone of healthcare delivery today and supporting them is critical as we work to build sustainable, resilient healthcare systems. Today marks International Nurses’ Day where focus is on empowering nurses to save lives. So we ask: what do nurses need to feel empowered in today’s world? In the video below, Tissue Viability Nursing Consultant Luxmi Dhoonmoon and Executive Nurse Director Jenni MacDonald share specifics on how we can empower nurses. Value-based impact starts with a bold purpose and happens through outcome-driven action. Let’s push for real empowerment.
