INSTITUTE NEWS


highlighting user-friendly energy controls designed to keep hospital HVAC systems running smoothly and effectively, suppliers of such equipment will be able to discuss their ideas and solutions in the HVAC & Engineering Theatre, and showcase their organisations’ products by exhibiting within the dedicated area.” Other important areas allocated space in the 2019 exhibition include ‘Design and construction in healthcare’, with its own Design & Construction Theatre. Exhibitors that have already booked for this include Zarges (UK), Geberit Sales, Turner & Townsend, Rockwool, and IBI Group. “With the content for this theatre put together in conjunction with Architects for Health, BIM4Health, and P22+, the area is always a key attraction for architects, planners, designers, and Trusts looking at new designs, refurbishments, and modernisation,” Steve Webb explained.


Meanwhile, following a successful launch in 2018, the Fire & Security in Healthcare area will be bigger this year. Supported by NAHFO and the Fire Protection Association, the Fire & Security Theatre will offer free content on topics including fire-rated door protection systems, ‘Managing fire safety – compliance and competency’, and ‘How technology can improve fire safety compliance in a healthcare environment’. Key exhibitors already booked in include Johnson Controls, SI Sealy, and Apollo Fire.


Training and apprenticeships – the impact of Brexit


A dedicated Training, Staffing, and Apprenticeships Theatre will, among other topics, examine the potential impact of Brexit on the NHS, and in particular on recruitment to the sector, ‘with an emphasis on recruitment, diversity, and inclusion’. Steve Webb said: “Set to be a key focus in this dedicated


With its clock tower and striking Victorian architecture, the Principal Manchester – the venue for the 2019 IHEEM Awards Dinner on 8 October – is an unmistakable landmark in Manchester.


Troup Bywaters & Anders-sponsored area, the impact of Brexit on the NHS and public policy will indeed be a major focus throughout Healthcare Estates 2019, particularly with this year’s involvement of our international colleagues from the IFHE and the Federation’s member organisations. Another topic bound to be discussed is the state of the UK Government’s finances, which will no doubt impact on future health provision, with some observers anticipating further pressures on public service funding more broadly as a result of Brexit’s impact on economic growth.


Risk of staff shortages


“While of course the UK’s decision to leave the EU has not, per se, created the funding pressures on the NHS,” Steve Webb continued, “it is likely to exacerbate them. Brexit is also expected to worsen existing staff shortages, potentially reducing service quality. There has already been a fall in the number of EU-origin nurses, attributed at least in part to uncertainty about their future status. Training and staffing will form a key part of the programme at Healthcare Estates 2019, with a particular emphasis on engineering skills shortages, and the importance of attracting more women


engineers to the healthcare sector. The main theatre will include inspirational speakers who will discuss other industries that have attracted women and diverse groups to their sectors – how this was achieved, and how the healthcare engineering sector can appeal to these groups. More details will be revealed over the coming months as the programme takes shape. The exhibition takes place over two days, and attracts over 4,500 attendees, with many attending both days.”


Sector’s ‘biggest showcase’ Steve Webb added: “Senior representatives from the NHS, private healthcare sector, and businesses working in the sector, come to Manchester each year for the biggest showcase of products and services in this specialist field. Alongside the conference and exhibition, the annual IHEEM Awards Dinner is always a popular feature, and this year sees the evening event (on 8 October) move to The Principal Manchester, an elegant Grade II- listed building which should provide the perfect venue for dining and networking with colleagues, guests, or customers.” For more information on Healthcare Estates 2019, visit www.healthcare- estates.com, or telephone: 01892 518877.


Climate change in focus at Cardiff event in September


Climate change, and the effects of some of the dramatic weather ’events’ the world is seeing, will be the theme of the IHEEM 2019 Wales Regional Conference and Exhibition, a one-day event which will be held in Cardiff on 5 September. Organised by IHEEM, working with the Institute’s Wales Branch, the conference will be entitled ‘Heatwave’, and held at the Copthorne Hotel Cardiff. IHEEM Conference and Events coordinator, Kate Newman, said: “Last year’s weather in the UK was very hot and dry compared with past years, but was followed by wind and rain, resulting in flooding. This year’s conference will look at the effect that climate changes are having on the healthcare estate, and

its support and operational services.” IHEEM says the programme, line-up of expert speakers, and content, will have a universal appeal, and is looking to attract over 100 attendees from across the UK healthcare estates sector, including from the Welsh Government, Public Health Wales, local Health Boards, NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership, NHS Trusts,


private hospitals, and companies. Kate Newman added: “Last year attendees came from across the UK, and there was a good mix of both NHS delegates and private sector companies.” Potential delegates can take advantage of an ‘early bird’ rate for what should prove a highly informative and topical event until 7 June.
