One of the Scottish team’s project site is the Caithness General Hospital. The Scotland OneHealth team focused on reducing the environmental impact of healthcare especially on the water system by focusing on pharmaceutical discharges, by developing a OneHealth Breakthrough Partnership (OHBP).
This partnership transcends boundaries (organisations, disciplines etc), engaging University researchers, National Health Service, water providers and regulators to advance a new interdisciplinary Onehealth partnership.
The hospital secured accreditation through the Alliance for Water Stewardship (a global accreditation network) becoming the first in the world to do so and attracting the Govt’s attention which was keen on advancing the OneHealth partnership approach.
