Estates & Facilities Forum

We are delighted to invite you to the NHS England and NHS Improvement National Estates & Facilities Forum on Tuesday 16th March 2021.

The webinar will be held virtually on the GoToWebinar platform and is free to attend. However, you will need to register for each individual session.

The day will facilitate deep dives across a number of individual priority areas for NHS estates and facilities including; COVID-19, New Hospitals Programme, Greener NHS/Net Zero Carbon and Next Generation Estates Strategies. This will support attendees understanding of the direction of policy and the role of the estates profession in these areas, including current thinking from NHS England and NHS Improvement.

Attendees will also gain an excellent strategic understanding of the national priorities for estates and facilities services, linked to the aims of the DHSC’s Strategic Infrastructure Board and understand how the estates profession will deliver on these.
