19 TACKLING SKILLS GAPS AND ENCOURAGING DIVERSITY
May’s HEJ included the first ‘half’ of a two-page report on a roundtable event held in March at which two IHEEM Past-Presidents, Greg Markham and Lawrence Turner, and the Institute’s current President, Pete Sellars, got together in London to discuss six key topics. Here HEJ editor, Jonathan Baillie, who chaired the discussions, reports on the second ‘half’ of an interesting debate.
25 ACTIONS TO BOOST RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION SET OUT
Senior estates and facilities staff from the NHS Estates and Facilities Efficiency and Productivity Division at NHSI led a well-attended seminar on workforce planning in Birmingham in April. The event brought together senior healthcare estates directors from over 30 NHS Trusts, and representatives of IHEEM, HefmA, and IPEM, to discuss key succession and skills gap issues facing the sector.
31 ALIGNING TECHNOLOGY AND ESTATES STRATEGIES Effective use of technology can significantly impact the design and day-to-day running of NHS estates, with the power to make buildings more efficient, create income generation opportunities, and help ‘future-proof’ the estate long-term.
39 FIRESTOPPING MUST NOT BE AN AFTERTHOUGHT
Fire safety is a huge concern for hospitals, which must safeguard all users, and implement measures that minimise any risk of fire. As such facilities continue to evolve, advances in technology and demand for better services place a heavy reliance on cables to keep equipment and their supporting infrastructure running safely. A look at why using effective and future-proof firestopping in healthcare environments is thus crucial.
45 WELLBEING CENTRE SUPPORTS INDEPENDENT LIVING A look at a new Centre of Wellbeing designed by architects, 3DReid, for the Thistle Foundation, an Edinburgh- based charitable organisation that supports disabled people to live independently, and those with long-term conditions to better manage their lives.
49 HYBRID THEATRE DESIGN IS A CONSIDERABLE ART
With the percutaneous devices used in interventional radiology departments becoming ever more complex, and more and more minimally invasive procedures being undertaken in conventional operating theatres, a new ‘breed’ of so-called ‘hybrid’ theatres has emerged, and is now a feature of many hospitals worldwide. A look at the optimal design of such theatres.
53 FITTING OUT 21st-CENTURY THEATRE FACILITIES
Howorth Air Technology will still be best-known to many in healthcare as the company which, working with world- renowned orthopaedic surgeon, Sir John Charnley, in the early 1960s, developed the world’s first ultraclean surgical enclosure. Today, sales of its Exflow UCV canopy system remain strong, but the company now offers an ever broader range of complementary, and increasingly ‘connected’, operating theatre and ITU products.
63 CONSIDERING THE BEST PIPEWORK ROUTE FOR SAFETY Plumbing, heating, cooling, and infrastructure specialist, Uponor, discusses the risk of Legionella in hospital water systems, and the ways in which that risk can be addressed and minimised through design best practice and pipe specification.
