HEALTHCARE ESTATES
‘Industry leaders’ in estate advice
Part of Sewell Group, estates consultancies Community Ventures and Shared Agenda claim to be ‘industry leaders’ in estates advice, development management, and the operational management of their customers’ buildings, ensuring that the full value of their estate is realised. They said: “Our two consultancy businesses operate across the country and have the tools to provide you with robust evidence-based intelligence to inform your estates and service planning. With bags of energy and an innovative approach, we make it our business to deliver long- term value for your organisations and your stakeholders. We deliver a range of services, with recent activities including assisting healthcare providers with utilisation studies to maximise the use of their estate, creating infrastructure and

estates strategies for NHS organisations, and investing in, developing, delivering, and managing, new health facilities from inception to completion. “One of our latest projects has been
the creation of a new medical practice in North East England, giving practice staff who’d been working from a modular building for seven years a brand new, bespoke practice building which will allow them to offer more services and see more patients.”
Save space, installation time, and cost, without compromise
With space at an all-time premium, Akrivis says ‘the pioneering, compact, vertical design’ of the Akrivis DM Series Air Handling unit ‘provides a practical and welcome solution
for designers and end-users alike’. It said: “These energy-efficient AHUs are designed specifically to meet the stringent requirements of medical applications in space-constrained retrofits, new-builds, and low carbon footprint applications. Their clever space-saving design makes them the preferred choice for many medical
applications, occupying a fraction of the space required by traditional, bulkier horizontal counterparts, and making them suitable for both internal and external locations.
“Despite their compact size, the DM Series units pack a powerful punch in performance, energy efficiency, and quality. Each HTM-compliant AHU features a low SFP, high airflow, and static capability, and requires extremely low relative input power. Fitting through standard door openings and in standard goods elevators, their modular format both simplifies installation and enhances accessibility, ease of cleaning, and maintenance. They also come ready to ‘plug and play’, featuring advanced onboard controls, intelligent features, and state-of-the-art components.”
Optimising transparency and compliance
Synbiotix claims to offer ‘the only complete facilities management software for the healthcare sector’. It said: “Working with some of the
largest and most respected healthcare organisations, we help busy estates and facilities managers realise more every day with a fully integrated suite of clever software solutions that support the entire healthcare estate to deliver a streamlined patient service.” Designed alongside the latest
industry standards, the Synbiotix facilities management software ‘optimises transparency and compliance’.

Synbiotix said: “We are proud to be known for our exceptional customer care.
