The future of PFI, LIFT and Pro21+, “identifying the shape of capital projects in the immediate future”, evaluating the impact on project costs of achieving BREEAM excellence, saving money via energy efficiencies,
exploring the options for reorganisation and consolidation of buildings to develop services in existing premises, and “fusing clinical design with new models of healthcare”, will be among the topics discussed at an IHEEMsupported Health Service Journal conference, “Rebuilding the NHS 2010”, at London’s Cavendish Conference Centre on 11 March. The conference, at which speakers will include Paul Hyett, principal at HKS Architects; Paul Coomber, head of public healthcare at Davis Langdon; HeFmA national chairman Kevin Oxley; Trend Control Systems key account manager John O’Leary; Brian Golding, deputy director of estates and capital planning at York Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Andrew Taylor, director of The Co-operation and Competition Panel, will also see Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary Norman Lamb examine the impact of party policy on estates strategy, and discuss how projects might be prioritised “in line with future healthcare expectations”. The one-day event (at which IHEEM will have a stand) is preceded on 10 March at London’s Hallam Conference Centre by a pre-conference seminar.
