Building for Health is a new event taking place at London’s Earls Court 2 from 27 February to March 1. The event is one of five exhibitions being staged under the umbrella title Innovations for the Built Environment – the other shows are Futurebuild, Ecobuild, Cityscape and Regenex.
Building for Health, being delivered in conjunction with the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), has been planned to address “practical and strategic issues that combine to create buildings, places and spaces that positively contribute to public health.”
The event includes a conference, “Sustainable healthcare through the built environment” which has been created specifically for professionals involved in the planning, design, construction and management of healthcare facilities.
Organisers are confident that the quality of speakers and topics covered will ensure that the conference earns a “rocksolid reputation for delivering information.” The Building for Health exhibition will showcase the leading products and services focused on the design, construction and management of sustainable healthcare facilites. It will give suppliers an exclusive opportunity to showcase their best products and best projects to an audience of senior professionals from the NHS and from the construction sector.

10.10 KEYNOTE ADDRESS:Shaping our Environment Shapes Health: A Matter of Life or Death in the 21st Century
With more people in the UK being classified as obese, thinking about how we can improve our general health and fitness is as important as thinking about how we are treated when we are sick. Most sustained exercise is taken just doing everyday activities, such as travelling to work or going to the shops, rather than specifically to get fit. If towns and cities feel and look good, the more people will choose to walk and cycle. So, with billions of pounds being spent on new homes, schools and public spaces around the country, we have a golden opportunity at the moment to make healthy behaviour an easy and attractive option. With his unique insight into how the built environment and urban design impacts on public health, Dr Richard J Jackson gives us the view from across the Atlantic.

14.10 What Does Delivering ‘Care Closer to Home’ Mean to You?: Presentations and Discussion Ever since ‘Our health, our care, our say’ was launched a year ago, many of us have been engaged in the business of delivering ‘care closer to home’. But just what does this mean to the many different people involved? Whose job is it anyway? Is it a team game in which all those involved are trying to achieve the same thing? Or a set of individual organisations and agencies working to different agendas?
We give key professionals from the public and the private sector, design and planning, and the medical world five minutes each to tell us what ‘delivering care closer to home’ means from their perspective. The session will take the form of a series of short presentations followed by discussion.
