NHS Estates: Effectively Transforming the Healthcare Estate 2024 | Government Events | 5 February 2024 | Online

This events has long suffered the deterioration of its capital and infrastructure, with maintenance backlogs reaching £10.2 billion in 2023, according to the Nuffield Trust. Tackling the risk this poses to patient safety and outcomes is a key objective for NHS leaders. In addition, with the NHS becoming the first health system to embed achieving net-zero into legislation in 2022, the sector is committed to delivering innovative decarbonisation strategies.

In order to drive efficiencies and achieve these objectives, healthcare providers are creatively optimising resources and collaborating across the sector to exchange resources and insights. It is important NHS estate and facilities managers come together to discuss their solutions and best practice in achieving a sustainable, efficient and modern healthcare service.

• The NHS contributes 4% to the UK’s carbon emissions (NHS England, 2022)
• A fifth of NHS equipment and buildings present urgent risks to patient care (King’s Fund, 2022)
• NHS Property Services (NHSPS) delivered £44.1 million in cost efficiency savings last year (2023)
