About

The Sustainability and Simulation Theatre for Academia and Industry

funded by the Department of Health and Social Care in alignment with the Design for Life Roadmap

A Sustainable Heritage: SUSTAIN is based in the site of the first operating theatre at Leeds (dating back to 1869). SUSTAIN supports ‘Building the Leeds Way’, reducing the carbon footprint and generate high-impact case-studies to spur adoption across the NHS.

Our Ambition: SUSTAIN is a real-life simulated surgical operating-suite environment, with integrated sensor and monitoring systems, that offers companies and care providers the opportunity to develop, test and implement physical and digital solutions into real-life settings.

A Testbed: SUSTAIN captures and accurately assess both the environmental and human-factors impact of the pathway or innovation being tested. Supporting effective, relevant care innovations to get to market in a standardised way which meets the needs of both the end-users and the requirements of clinicians and hospitals.
