The HefmA Conference 2010
Description: All governments since 1948 have invested in real terms in the healhtcare sector, but the next comprehensive spending review could see investment go down in real terms. With increasing demands on the NHS, how can we ensure that we are not only able to meet the challenge, but also become the healthcare provider of choice to our local communities? Hosted by the Northern and Yorkshire branch, the 2010 HefmA Conference aims to address these issues. A selection of industry experts and commentators will provide their views on how the NHS can survive, strive and thrive. They will discuss the ongoing role estates and facilities management plays in what is set to be a challenging few years for the health service and those who make the key decisions.
