Eta Projects reflects on being IHEEM Events Partner 2026
Kim Shelley, strategic partnerships director at Eta Projects, reflects on the company’s year of being IHEEM’s official Events Partner.
What a year 2026 has been! As IHEEM’s first official event partner, the past year has provided Eta Projects with the opportunity to support the healthcare engineering industry and champion conversations surrounding critical infrastructure. Chosen to deliver, trusted to care – for 30 years, we have been leading the way in delivering critical infrastructure safely and to the highest of standards. From Authorising Engineer services to compliance and various building services, our dedicated team of
experts were delighted to have the opportunity to share their expertise with the healthcare estates community.
For 20 years, we have worked collaboratively with IHEEM to raise standards across healthcare estates, so it was a really exciting partnership for both organisations. Our team have attended six events as the official event partner for 2026 and have had the opportunity to lead sessions and important discussions at each of these. We have strengthened industry relationships and further established Eta Projects as a
leading voice within the industry. The partnership has brought us to various events all over the UK. From Wales to Scotland, we have been able to share our knowledge and expertise with industry peers across the nation and support events that highlight the need for innovation within healthcare engineering. From Net Zero strategies and resilience, to compliance and future-proofing projects to cater for the evolving needs of healthcare facilities, the partnership with IHEEM has enabled us to contribute to critical conversations that are helping

Trent University. I see my IHEEM membership as an opportunity to build on this background and develop my understanding of healthcare engineering and estate management. At the beginning of
my doctoral studies, I am particularly keen to learn from experienced practitioners and gain insight into the practical challenges facing healthcare estates. Membership offers me a valuable connection to professionals whose
knowledge and experience can help inform my academic development. I look forward to participating in technical events, webinars, and branch activities, and exchanging ideas with fellow members. Through IHEEM, I hope to strengthen the connection between my research and professional practice, continue developing my knowledge, and contribute to the Institute’s community.
