TRAINING PROVISION
Providing accessible and high quality training
IHEEM continues to deliver on its commitment to provide its members with access to a wide choice of professional and technical training opportunities through its Knowledge Partnerships. Here the Institute provides further detail on some of the training and upskilling now on offer via the online IHEEM Learning Hub.
As part of the IHEEM Business Plan published in early 2020, over the past six months the Institute has made some significant progress towards offering support to our members throughout their career journey. Part of that support involves access to appropriate and quality training opportunities and products to support our membership base, and the Institute is making sure that – where possible – these courses will be accredited or certified as CPD. That is why we are delighted to announce that we now have over 100 appropriate training courses available from our Knowledge Partners,
details of which can be found under the Learning Hub on the website, and viewed at:

IHEEM said: “The Institute has successful working relationships with several organisations to be able to deliver and expand on our education and training opportunities to further support our members throughout their career. We recognise and thank these trusted organisations for their support; an overview of each partner, the relationship, and what these organisations offer, follows below:
TAHPI
Total Alliance Health Partners International (TAHPI) is one of the most prolific authors of international standards and guidelines for healthcare design customised for different regions of the world. It is reportedly the largest developer of software and web-based tools for healthcare service planning, functional briefing, supply capture, mapping, and equipment planning for the entire healthcare industry. TAHPI works in partnership with IHEEM to deliver courses including the Health Facility Planning Course and Health Facility Briefing System. It has also given IHEEM members access to its set of International Health Facility Guidelines, which can be found via the Knowledge Portal.
TAHPI’s Aladin Niazmand said: “It is almost a year since the commencement of the IHEEM-TAHPI partnership on knowledge sharing, training, and healthcare guidelines. In this period, four rounds of training courses on ‘Health Facility Planning’ have been conducted online, but in ‘live and interactive’ form.”
Healthcare Facility Planning Course The Health Facility Planning Course will introduce the specialised aspects of Health Facility Planning. This course is intended for professionals who are already experienced in related industries, but lack the specialised knowledge required for healthcare planning design. It is particularly suited to General Practice Architects and Engineers who wish to be become experienced in the design of healthcare facilities. It will also benefit consultants who have been designing hospitals, but who lack formal training or correct orientation (effectively learning on the job). The course will also benefit equipment planners who frequently
engage in the design of healthcare facilities only to accommodate the equipment. They do so without the thorough knowledge of other aspects of health facility planning. This course will provide the strong foundations required to do this task properly. Similarly, this course will benefit hospital Estates & Facilities Managers who carry out their own in-house refurbishments, upgrades, and minor extensions.

Healthcare Facility Briefing System HFBS (Health Facility Briefing System) is ‘the essential toolkit’ for healthcare estate management professionals, including specialist health planners, designers, capital project leaders, and managers. IHEEM members can join this two-day course to learn how the tool works, as well as receive a one-year subscription to the software. The course costs £495 +VAT for IHEEM Members (includes annual license and training), and £795 + VAT for Non-Members (includes annual license and training). Registered users can access comprehensive standards for health design, and obtain ready-made, editable ‘Standard Components’, including briefs, room data sheets, and layout sheets. Users can assemble detailed briefs, specifications, and schedules, on the web without any software, within a secure environment. Aladin Niazmand, Director and Trainer at TAHPI, said “It is almost a year since the commencement of the IHEEM-TAHPI partnership on knowledge sharing, training, and healthcare guidelines. In this period four rounds of training courses on ‘Health Facility Planning’ have been conducted online, but in ‘live and interactive’ form. A total of 51 professionals from five continents completed the courses over 9 days or 40 hours of intensive, information-rich training. Seventeen IHEEM members were among those who attended these courses, including Estates Managers,
