45 How healthcare estates can reach Net Zero
Many healthcare estates are ageing, and in some cases lagging behind those in other sectors on sustainability. Does support go far enough for these estates to upgrade and adopt low carbon energy solutions considering the UK’s ambitious 2050 carbon targets?
49 Aligning the health system with tomorrow’s world With the NHS celebrating its 75th anniversary earlier this year, two senior Arcadis personnel look back at some of the major changes in
healthcare provision and buildings, and forward to the key steps – including increasing digitalisation, and ‘embedding healthcare deeper into the fabric of communities’ – they believe will help ensure a resilient service.
55 Serving patients outside the usual hospital environment Mark Hitchman, MD of Canon Medical Systems UK, discusses the creation of what is reportedly the UK’s first carbon- neutral built community sports and event arena with an integrated Medical Diagnostic Centre, and ‘why this unique fusion of sport and wellbeing will be a catalyst for positive regional health’.

perspective is required.
63 Establishing an effective water management plan Paul Musgrove, Sales director at specialist in water consumption reduction, Ecoprod, looks at the fundamentals for healthcare facilities in establishing an effective water management strategy.
