IHRI Goes Green

We often say in the healthcare professions that the consumption of ”greens” are good for us. This statement is not only limited to food, it can also be viewed in terms of energy consumption. By going green an organisation can play its part in saving the environment in which we live. Therefore it is good to go green as much as possible. Since human and animal health is connected closely to the quality of environment in which we live, IHRI has decided to make a bold statement regarding the type of energy it consumes for running its offices and technical equipment. It is our hope that others will follow by example. Our offices and our data centers are now all powered by 100% wind energy. Since generating wind energy on site is not feasible, all of our electricity use is being offset with wind-generated Renewable Energy Certificates. This means by using data centers which are eco-friendly we are playing our part in helping to prevent the release of 2,660 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year. That is equivalent to the planting of approximately 2,390 acres of trees or not driving 6.1 million miles.

International Health Research Institute (IHRI) is a professional body established to encourage good working practices within healthcare-related employment and the medical research industries. We encourage inter-professional team building in line with various guidelines set out by both national and global organisations. It is our belief that professionalism within the health services starts at the university educational level and continues onward by the use of Continued Professional Development programmes (CPD). We wish to aim our efforts at ensuring that students and newly qualified graduates come out with the best quality of degree, one with theory and considerable practical experience combined.

The institute currently provides various free services to other established research groups in the areas of genetics, biochemistry and zoology. As an organisation we are proud of our commitment to detail on every project so far and now wish to attempt to create student placements in whatever we become involved in during the future. This would create an additional learning environment outside of the lecture theatre, thus providing further work experience early on in a career in order to produce highly qualified and experienced healthcare professionals.
