Sharps and Clinical Waste Management in Sunderland

In 2018, the seaside city of Sunderland was ranked as the UK’s best place to live and work. With it’s continued commitment to both industry and community, it’s not hard to see why!

Home to an eclectic array of attractions from Roker Lighthouse to the Penshaw Monument, Sunderland locals (known as “Mackems”) are known for their friendliness, with over 15,000 people working in the contact centre industry – an intriguing fact considering how unique the local dialect is! Finding the Sunderland tongue hard to understand? Nee bosh, marra - that’s “no problem, mate” in Mackem - just don’t get it confused with the Geordie accent!

Although the city has a rich industrial history rooted in coal mining and shipbuilding, it’s now known as one of England’s most green cities with over 50% of the geographical area being open space. If you find yourself Sunderland-bound towards the end of July, don’t miss the Sunderland International Airshow for airplane tricks you’ll have never seen before. As Europe’s largest free annual airshow, the event attracts up to 2 million visitors each year!

Drop on by the Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens on a weekend, a glass-encased botanic wonderland providing a relaxing way to spend a quiet afternoon. You can learn about the historical custom of glass-making itself via a trip to the National Glass Centre, an institution memorialising the 1,500 year old practice traditional to Sunderland.

It would be remiss, of course, not to mention Sunderland A.F.C. The football club harbours an illustrious history that often comes to mind for sports fanatics at first mention of the city. Between football, glass making, industry and iconic structures and beaches, there is plenty abound in Sunderland. One thing the city still ensures, however, is that healthcare remains a high priority for its people.
