Programme for Cardiff conference unveiled
With just under three months to go, the programme for the IHEEM 2018 Regional Conference and Exhibition, ‘IHEEM 2018’, has been announced, with the conference theme being ‘How to keep the patient safe in your hospital’.
One of several highly topical subjects examined will be the impact of cyberattacks on business continuity and disaster recovery, while Gareth Lloyd, a fire advisor at NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Specialist Estates Services, will review the key points of the Dame Hackitt Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, published last month, with specific reference to the potential implications for the healthcare sector.
Hilary Humphreys, Professor of Clinical Microbiology and consultant microbiologist at The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and Beaumont Hospital, will lead discussions on ‘Operating theatre ventilation and reducing postoperative infection. Is it all just hot air?’ The event will also focus on ‘BIM in action’, highlight the impact of corrosion and the marine
environment on coastal healthcare buildings, and see presentations on the monitoring and auditing of the estate. The first day’s opening address will be given by Dr Marion Lyons, director of Public Health at Public Health Wales, and the second day’s such address by Neil Davies, director, Specialist Estates Services at NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership – Specialist Estates Services. Delegate registration is now open, and costs from just £69 +VAT per person for a two-day pass. For further details on delegate rates, booking deadlines, and the programme, visit
