SEM TP to offer help and expertise on strategic and capital planning
Maybe your experience of strategic and capital planning is one of serenity and careful consideration, but often the opposite is the case. Some organisations have nailed these processes down to a fine art – but others could maybe do with some help. As reported in February’s HEJ, the
Architecture & Design of the Built Environment Technical Platform (known as ADBE) refocused, and was launched as the Strategic Estates Management Technical Platform, focusing on a number of aims, but two in particular. The first is to bring together techniques
and processes that could support the very early stages of capital projects. The birth of a new scheme can come about in a mind-blowing range of ways – and if the first steps and direction are not wisely taken, that’s when things can start to go horribly wrong. How many times have we seen a budget for a scheme before the brief has been written? When was the last time we/you saw a fully developed and supported brief? Has someone produced a first design based on a conversation in the corridor? These are the tip of the slippery slope of the iceberg. There is a cornucopia of questions and dilemmas to be tackled as the new-born scheme adjusts to the bright lights of reality. The SEM TP will be gathering together some of the ways in which we can better tackle new schemes and set them merrily on their way – there is no one simple answer, but with care, we should be able to contribute to a greater sense of calm and order at these early stages.

TECHNICIAN Mark Davidson Andrew Hodgson
The second key aim of the SEM TP is
to consider carefully, and with support and consultation, what it means to be a Healthcare Planner, and then, in time, to see whether there is an appetite for some accepted professional accreditation – a big ask, but we aim high. Anyone who has been involved with healthcare projects will appreciate that there are many flavours of Healthcare Planner, and indeed that job description is available to anyone with a desire to plan some healthcare. The Platform is gearing up, and has attracted an impressive range of members – and will continue to grow over the next months. It is intended to be highly inclusive and dynamic, since the scope of our remit covers a very broad agenda, and involves, at some level, everyone who works in, or is associated with, the healthcare world. Over the next few months, SEM TP will begin to develop its workstreams and objectives – so watch this space for further updates as we start to evolve. Members of the Platform will also be presenting at the Healthcare Estates Conference in Manchester in October, where we will be holding a one-hour interactive workshop entitled ‘Estates
Strategy - The Forgotten Art?’ on Day 2. We don’t know all the answers, but we
have some idea of the questions around strategic and healthcare planning. In conclusion: a favourite poster seen in one unnamed office says: ‘Why is there never time to do it
properly – but always time to do it again?’

Online survey will seek feedback on HEJ
IHEEM, who work in partnership with Step Communications, are constantly striving to ensure that HEJ provides readers with interesting, entertaining, and informative articles, as well as the opportunity for companies to promote the wide array of products and services they supply to our sector. A short online survey is being developed to allow readers and contributors to provide feedback on how they use HEJ, how it supports CPD and their own development, which sections are most relevant for them, and seeking views on how the journal can be improved.
The survey will be available to complete online via the IHEEM website:
www.iheem.org.uk, and on both the IHEEM and HEJ stands at next month’s Healthcare Estates 2022 Conference & Exhibition.
The Institute said: “It will only take a few minutes to complete the survey, and the information provided will help us to better understand the needs of our individual and Company Affiliate members, and how HEJ can continue to support, inform, and update readers on the topics that matter most to the healthcare engineering and EFM community.”
