Healthcare Estates
Transforming the estate through collaboration
A look at how a consortium of UK architectural, planning, and design consultants are helping to deliver six new district hospitals in Ghana, a new conference stream focused on Governance and Assurance, a presentation on the challenges of designing and constructing one of the UK’s first proton beam therapy units – at UCLH in London – and the chance to see new products, technologies, and services from over 200 companies under one roof in a wide-ranging exhibition, will be among the highlights of this year’s IHEEM Healthcare Estates event. HEJ looks forward to what visitors and delegates can expect when Healthcare Estates 2016 – which takes place from October 4-5 at Manchester Central – opens its doors in just under a month’s time.

HEEM’s annual conference at Healthcare Estates is always a focus for lively discussion on some of the most pressing issues for the healthcare estates and healthcare engineering community, and this year’s conference will be no exception. The 2016 conference theme is Transforming the Estate through Collaboration, and, say the event’s co-organisers (with IHEEM), Step Exhibitions, one of the key themes will be how healthcare estates and healthcare engineering professionals can make the most of available estates and facilities budgets through efficiencies in design, construction, management, and maintenance.
Day 1 will focus on three key areas – Strategy, Engineering & Facilities Management, and Design & Construction. Reflecting the topic’s significance, however, the organisers have announced a fourth ‘stream’ for the conference’s second day, focusing on the ‘hugely important area’ of ‘Governance and Assurance’. This stream will include an address on
Trusts’ preparedness for CQC inspections and scrutiny, by Robert Nettleton, Strategic Estates adviser for the Care Quality Commission and Strategic Operational Estates. His presentation will be followed by a look, by Jacqui Grimwood, who is Estates and Facilities development manager at West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, at NHS Trusts’ use of the Premises Assurance Model (PAM). A post-lunch session will focus on ‘The future of ERIC and the Estates and Facilities Dashboard’.
Opening panel session After the Day 1 opening keynote, delegates will be treated to a thought- provoking panel session chaired by Simon Corben of Capita. More details on the panellists will be announced next month, and all pre-registered delegates will have the opportunity to pose a question for the panel via the new event ‘app’. Looking at the Day 1 programme in a little more detail, and, as part of the Design & Construction stream, Martin
Townsend, director, BREEAM, at BRE, will review the impact of BREEAM on the NHS estate since the 2008 launch of the now high profile sustainability assessment scheme, in a presentation entitled ‘Learning from eight years of Healthcare BREEAM assessments’.
New BREEAM schemes Conference director, Victoria Emerton, explained: “BRE has recently developed both a BREEAM In Use and a BREEAM Refurbishment and Fit Out scheme to make BREEAM more flexible and appropriate to a wider portfolio of NHS buildings. BRE is also developing a Property Performance Tracker to support BREEAM In Use – a benchmarking tool to help estates professionals easily sift building information into useable knowledge that they can then harness to assess the performance of their buildings and estate.”
Other Day 1 speakers will include Mark Gifford, Consultancy development manager
