With the impact of the coronavirus outbreak still being widely felt UK-wide, and with it seeming likely that the current ‘lockdown’ and social distancing measures will continue for some time yet, HEJ readers may well not be surprised (pages 7-10) that IHEEM has taken the decision to defer this year’s Healthcare Estates event in Manchester until October 2021, and to postpone or defer a number of other Institute events planned for this year. While the flagship annual IHEEM event is eagerly anticipated, both by the Institute’s members, and by many others working in allied fields, holding an event with such a large potential audience would have been a formidable challenge this year, and understandably, the Institute, and co- organiser, Step Exhibitions, were reluctant to risk the health of exhibitors, speakers, delegates, and other attendees.


Amid the grim statistics on the coronavirus’ toll on UK health, and the pressures that healthcare staff treating the sick have been facing, there is positive news in the determined way that the healthcare estates sector has pulled together to address some of the key building and estates-related challenges that the coronavirus outbreak has presented. The creation of the emergency ‘Nightingale’ hospitals has received special praise, but as the editor of HEJ, I have seen suppliers of a myriad of products and services,

The brand new KLS Martin MarLED X operating lights have just been installed in three main theatres at one of the country’s leading teaching hospitals, King’s College Hospital, London, following extensive trials of a mobile version by a range of surgeons across various disciplines.


UK distributor, Starkstrom, says the MarLED X’s ‘huge variation in light field diameter’ – from 140-350 mm, plus ‘the unique elliptical shape facility’, mean it can be adjusted ‘to


provide the perfect light characteristics for all disciplines’. With infinite adjustment of the colour temperature and intensity, plus a comprehensive preset facility, each surgeon can set and save their own preferences and go straight to them when starting each procedure. The MarLED X is the replacement for the MarLED V, reportedly the UK’s bestselling operating theatre light over the past decade. Starkstrom said: “X offers the same


engineering integrity and market-leading performance of the V, but with an enhanced range of features and adjustments, to move the capabilities of operating lights to a new level.”


Starkstrom has been the exclusive UK MarLED distributor since 2004, alongside offering its own UK-manufactured range of medical IT systems, surgeon’s panels, and medical service pendants, plus UPS systems and operating tables from its key partners, PCL and OPT.

as well as healthcare estates, healthcare engineering, and construction personnel, get in touch in recent weeks to highlight some of the innovative work they have been doing. Conscious that, currently, thinking and practice are changing almost daily, and to keep readers informed about the most interesting developments, next month we will break with tradition (in that we do not normally produce an issue of Health Estate Journal in July) by publishing an ‘online only’ July 2020 HEJ. In it we will be continuing to report on some of the latest advances and innovations, so that those working hard to keep healthcare facilities running smoothly, but who may currently be feeling a little ‘isolated’, can keep up to date with what is happening outside their day-to-day sphere. As is clear from the mountain of press material I have received, the coronavirus crisis has highlighted the formidable engineering and technical expertise, and the adaptability, that the profession and suppliers to healthcare facilities possess. The July ‘online’ issue will provide an extra opportunity to showcase this, and to report on some of the latest developments at what is likely to continue to be an extremely busy time for the healthcare estates sector for some time to come.
