🌱 Last week a major new public sculpture by Rachel Joynt RHA was unveiled at RCSI.

Previewed in this year's Alumni Magazine, 'Beatha' was created for the landscaped courtyard connecting 118 St Stephen’s Green and 26 York Street, and offers a contemplative focal point within RCSI’s busy campus. Its placement invites students, staff and visitors to pause and reflect on the interdependence of human health and environmental well-being.

Inspired by the forms of an oak sapling and the human lung, the sculpture explores the essential relationship between human life and the natural environment, reflecting RCSI’s commitment to advancing health and well-being.

Rachel Joynt is an Irish artist whose public art commissions include 'People's Island' on a pedestrian traffic island at Dublin's O'Connell Bridge, 'Mothership', in Sandycove, and 'Perpetual Motion' in Naas, Co Kildare, a collaboration with Remco de Fouw.

🌱 Last month saw the launch of the Green Theatre Accreditation Scheme at RCSI, a new national accreditation programme which will provide hospitals with a structured pathway to reduce the environmental impact of surgery while maintaining the highest standards of patient care.

🏥 The scheme provides hospitals with a practical, evidence-based framework to reduce emissions, minimise waste, and improve resource efficiency across surgical services. It was developed by RCSI with support from the HSE Climate and Sustainability Programme and the HSE Spark Innovation Programme and is aligned with the HSE Climate Action Strategy 2023–2050.

🌍 Healthcare is estimated to account for between four and five per cent of global carbon emissions, with surgery among the most resource-intensive areas of care. A typical surgical procedure can generate between 150 and 170 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, highlighting the significant opportunity to improve environmental sustainability within operating theatres.

🗨️ Professor Michael Kerin, President of RCSI, said: "Healthcare systems have a responsibility not only to care for patients today but also to contribute to a healthier future for generations to come. The Green Theatre Accreditation Scheme provides hospitals with a practical and achievable route to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining excellent patient outcomes."

📖 Alumni received an early preview of the scheme courtesy of Professor Camilla Carroll (Medicine, Class of 1985), RCSI Council Member, who outlined the plans in our latest Alumni Magazine -

👋 Come and catch your breath at the newest exhibition at Humanarium!

📍 Now open at Humanarium at 118 St Stephen's Green, 'Breathe' explores the science behind every breath, the air we all share and how we can protect ourselves and others this winter.

🔍️ Through interactive exhibits, expert insights and lived experiences, visitors will discover the remarkable science of how we breathe, explore what happens when it is difficult to breathe and learn how treatments can support people to breathe more easily. 'Breathe' also highlights the positive, everyday choices we can make to support good respiratory health throughout our lives.

🫁 Respiratory health has a significant impact on people across Ireland. An estimated 380,000 people are living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), while around 450,000 people have been diagnosed with asthma. Ireland also has one of the highest rates of cystic fibrosis and alpha-1, a genetic lung condition, in the world.

📈 Alongside these challenges is a story of significant progress. Advances in research, prevention, diagnosis and treatment are transforming our understanding of respiratory health and helping people to live longer and healthier lives.

📆 The free exhibition is open to the public from 7.30am–5pm, Monday to Friday, and Saturdays 10am–3pm, at 118 St Stephen’s Green, Dublin D02X0N1. https://www.humanarium.ie/whats-on/
