A series of Institute seminars which will investigate recent developments in legislation covering risk management, and the implications for the way in which healthcare estates and facilities management personnel approach the issue, begins in May.
With the aid of specialists in the field, the seminars will examine various estates risk issues, look at common pitfalls and traps, and propose possible tools and techniques for ensuring the efficient, effective management of these risks. Jeff Pickering, IHEEM’s events/ education manager, explained: “With today’s plethora of health, safety, and general risk legislation, and the seemingly ever-decreasing resource allocation to estates and facilities management teams, it is vital for EFM personnel to understand, and be able to adequately control, the many risks that impact upon their roles and functions.” Dates & venues for the risk management seminars are as follows: London –18 May; Leeds – 26 May; Birmingham – 9 June; Edinburgh – To be announced.
