 \nPresentation Overviews:\n\n- Professor Allan Matthews| The DSM Network
 Plus is a £1million investment by the EPSRC to bring together the divers
 e expertise and capabilities in UK academia to enhance digitalisation in
  surface manufacturing sector. Their aim to capture and understand the c
 urrent UK coating research and manufacturing framework and pump-prime di
 gitalisation activity to move the sector forward towards Industry 4.0. I
 n this talk Allan will discuss the role of the EPSRC Digitalised Surface
  Manufacturing NetworkPlus in working towards Sustainability and Net Zer
 o with Digitalised Surface Manufacturing.\n\n- Dr David Jones | Peri-ope
 rative practice relates to care during and around the time of a operatio
 n. It covers care during the operation itself\, as well as care before a
 nd after a surgical procedure – including consultations before an operat
 ion\, and hospital care after an operation. Climate change has been iden
 tified as a health emergency that\, according to NHS Chief Executive Sir
  Simon Stevens\, “poses the most profound long-term threat to the health
  of the nation”\, yet healthcare itself makes a substantial contribution
  to global warming and environmental pollution. Operations are among the
  most resource-intensive healthcare interventions\; each operating theat
 re creates around two tonnes of waste per year\, and a single operation 
 can generate a ‘carbon footprint’ equivalent to driving more than 2\,000
  miles. The NHS\, which is responsible for four per cent of the UK’s nat
 ional carbon footprint\, has committed to achieving Net Zero emissions b
 y 2040\, with an interim 80 per cent reduction in emissions by 2032. To 
 achieve this target\, peri-operative practice needs to become more envir
 onmentally sustainable\, or ‘green’\, in the future. Funded by the NIHR\
 , the James Lind Alliance (JLA) is a non-profit making initiative which 
 brings patients\, carers and clinicians together in Priority Setting Par
 tnerships (PSPs). The PSPs identify and prioritise the Top 10 unanswered
  questions or evidence uncertainties that they agree are the most import
 ant. The aim of this is to make sure that health research funders are aw
 are of the issues that matter most to the people who need to use the res
 earch in their everyday lives. The aim of our ‘Greener Operations PSP’ i
 s to form a collaboration with patients\, carers\, healthcare profession
 als and the broader public to find out what are the most important areas
  to research to make operations more environmentally sustainable.
