n Estates and Facilities Services: How can the estates and facilities profession continue to deliver high-quality healthcare services and functions to patients as personnel face increased and conflicting challenges of capability, capacity, and efficiency, particularly around finances, workforce, and the Net Zero carbon agenda?
n Governance, Assurance & Compliance: How can we ensure that healthcare estates services and critical functions relating to patient safety are compliant and appropriately managed to meet the increased governance in national policy, and the legislative requirements of governing bodies such as HSE and CQC?
n Strategic Health & Social Care Planning: How can the estates and facilities profession effectively support and influence the delivery of the Integrated Care Systems’ future strategic planning requirements?
n Medical Engineering & Healthcare Engineering: What are the technical, specialist, and scientific challenges that need to be addressed to ensure that future medical engineering and healthcare engineering services are designed differently, particularly in relation to the areas of ventilation, water safety, infection control, and infrastructure resilience?
