HEALTHCARE ESTATES
benefits across the wide range of IHEEM membership packages. Everyone visiting Healthcare Estates
can attend safe in the knowledge that all reasonable and suitable measures are in place for their enjoyment, safety, and wellbeing, whilst at Manchester Central. In addition to the expansion of networking and catering areas to provide a more comfortable experience, extensive arrangements are in place for safety and wellbeing on site. A detailed guide to the on-site health, safety, and welfare arrangements at Healthcare Estates is available to view and download from the ‘Information’ section of the event website.
The Exhibition The free-to-attend Exhibition is the place for healthcare engineering and EFM professionals of all levels to discover products and services to help them meet current and future challenges. Attendees will be greeted by over 200 leading suppliers to the EFM sector, covering every discipline related to designing, building, managing, and maintaining, healthcare estates and facilities. Due to an unprecedented demand for
exhibition stands, the floorplan for the Exhibition this year (see page 86) has been expanded by 20% on the already- record-breaking exhibition of 2022. This expansion allows for an even wider range of exhibitors to be accommodated, resulting in a more comprehensive, engaging, and valuable experience for visitors. The overall amount of networking, catering, and seating space has also been increased to deliver a more relaxed and comfortable experience. Exhibition Director, Jay Stacy, said:
“Attendees and delegates visiting Healthcare Estates 2023 will have access to the largest exhibition in the event’s history, with hundreds of organisations showcasing the latest products and services available to EFM professionals. Whether you are looking to improve efficiency or functionality, you will find a plethora of organisations on site ready to assist with your current estates and facilities needs.” The full exhibitor list can be found on
page 87 of this issue of HEJ, and the event website, and – to help visitors plan their visit to the exhibition – a Category Search function has been added which allows visitors to identify in advance which exhibitors have the products and services for their requirements. On site, exhibitors are organised into
‘zones’ to help visitors locate the types of suppliers they are looking for. The zones are Engineering & Compliance, Energy & Sustainability, Facilities Management, and Design & Construction. In addition to these zones, the central aisle will feature many more exhibitors covering the above disciplines and more.
