England's NHS hospitals could save more than £100 million a year by encouraging staff to use the stairs, according to an article on the FM World website.
The savings would be achieved if just 15% of the 350,000 NHS hospital nurses stopped using the elevator, according to a study.
Last September, NHS England's chief executive Simon Stevens repeated calls for hospital CEOs to invest in staff wellness, pointing out that NHS absence costs £2.4 billion a year.
The research, using the Carbon Trust’s Empower energy savings calculator, shows increased stair use would avoid nearly 25 tonnes of CO2 being produced over five years.
