HEALTHCARE ESTATES
of Profession, NHS Estates and Facilities, and Fiona Daly, Director of Estates Sustainability and Workforce, will explore the pivotal role of strategic leadership and effective workforce management in shaping a resilient, skilled, and future-ready engineering talent base. Attendees will gain insight into how emerging technologies – including automation, robotics, and AI – are set to transform the way healthcare infrastructure is designed, delivered, and maintained across NHS Estates.
Takeaway Digest available to all Day 2 attendees In advance of the event, the organisers are working with speakers to identify and collate key insights into a Healthcare Estates ‘Prevention is better than cure’ Digest – featuring submissions from selected speakers sharing key insights and lessons from their presentations – which is made available to all attendees of Day 2 of the event. Featuring such titles as ‘Preventing Risks Before
They Escalate: A Governance-Focused Risk Reporting Dashboard for Capital Projects’, ‘Changing the Narrative Around Healthcare Ventilation’, and ‘Sustainable Healthcare in Action: How Decarbonisation at North Tyneside General Hospital Aligns with Prevention-Based Care’, this Digest provides a unique and incisive document for study and consideration which may offer valuable insight for applied action to be taken in the workplace.
Where do we go from here? The event’s closing keynote session will bring attendees together with healthcare leaders and subject-matter experts to share and discuss key takeaways on ‘Prevention is better than cure’ from across the diverse platforms of Healthcare Estates and explore how we move forward – safeguarding project continuity, driving sustainability, supporting the workforce, and raising the bar for healthcare infrastructure. Chaired by Pete Sellars and former IHEEM President
Paul Fenton, this definitive session will also explore the path forward – safeguarding project continuity, driving sustainability, supporting the workforce, and raising the bar for healthcare infrastructure – with key contributions from Simon Corben, Stuart Douglas, and a panel of conference speakers whose expertise shaped the Healthcare Estates ‘Prevention is better than cure’ Digest.
IHEEM Branch Members awards Part of the closing keynote are the IHEEM Branch Members awards – where the Institute will celebrate leadership, innovation, and community across its UK branches.
Healthcare Estates Exhibitor Stand awards Best Shell Scheme and Non-Shell Scheme Stand awards will be presented to the exhibitors selected by IHEEM’s team of ‘secret shoppers’ – recognising the exhibitors who have best demonstrated visual impact and visitor engagement.
Closing networking opportunity New for 2025, Healthcare Estates will close with a final opportunity for delegates, exhibitors and speakers to network and enjoy a variety of complimentary canapes and drinks prior to your journey home.
Largest-ever exhibition The exhibition continues to grow year-on-year, with 2025’s floorplan the biggest ever and over 230 exhibitors. Collectively, this provides an unmatched opportunity to
stay connected with existing suppliers, discover potential new partners, and explore the latest innovations first-hand – all in one place. The exhibitor line-up spans every aspect of funding, design, construction, management, and maintenance of healthcare infrastructure. Visitors will find a particularly strong presence of leading suppliers and advisors in key areas such as planning, design and construction; energy and sustainability; hard FM; HVAC and engineering; software, data and smart technologies; and water management and infection control. Visitors can make the most of their time at the exhibition
by using the interactive exhibitor list on the event website to plan their visit in advance. This easy-to-use tool provides exhibitor profiles, contact details and additional media, and can be filtered by supplier category or searched alphabetically to help attendees quickly find the companies, products, equipment and services most relevant to their needs.
IHEEM engagement The IHEEM members’ lounge, situated next to the main stage in the exhibition hall, acts as a hub for professional engagement and insight. Throughout the two days, representatives from IHEEM’s technical and advisory platforms and local branches are on hand to speak with visitors about opportunities to get involved in the Institute’s work – from shaping technical guidance to contributing to industry-wide initiatives. The IHEEM team will also be available to discuss the benefits of membership, explain how the Institute supports career development, and answer questions about its extensive CPD and networking programmes. For those looking to deepen their connection with the
profession, the lounge offers an open door to the people and resources shaping the future of healthcare estates and engineering.
Networking features in the exhibition hall Those involved in facility design and building projects will want to visit the dedicated Design & Construction Networking Area (sponsored by SDS) where the ‘Architects Showcase’ of case study posters provides stimulus for discussion and where representatives from Architects for Health (AfH) are on hand to discuss the latest trends, approaches and best practice.
