How care, architecture and modular delivery come together to create adaptable healthcare facilities.

Capacity pressures, changing patient pathways, workforce challenges and uncertain future demand all call for more than extra space delivered faster. Healthcare environments have to work for the patients who are treated in them and the staff who run them every day.

Hear from a physician and an architect who have devoted their careers to creating spaces which enhance well-being. They follow one patient pathway from clinical requirement to modular facility, and on to delivery.

Start with care: Why clinical, patient and staff needs have to shape the building before any design decision is made.

From pathway to plan: How one patient journey becomes adjacencies, room layouts and a modular configuration.

Designing beyond Day 1: How to build facilities that can expand, adapt and connect to an existing hospital estate.

Hear directly from:

• Dr Kate Gaynor, Chief Medical Officer, VAMED+WWH
• Sondos Abdelmalak, Head of Healthcare Tender Management and Bid Strategy, VAMED+WWH

The session ends with a real-world scenario: an NHS Trust that needs more surgical and diagnostic capacity on a constrained campus, while the hospital stays fully operational.

Are we designing a hospital for opening day, or for the next 20 years?

Healthcare Engineers looking to get a better understanding of UPS systems in medical environments can learn about the latest guidance provided by HTM 06-01 in an hour-long, free webinar hosted by Kohler Uninterruptible Power on Tuesday 18th March.

The CPD accredited webinar will cover the fundamentals of designing a UPS system enabling healthcare engineers to explore the various UPS options available to suit their requirement as with medical IT systems, there’s no standard one size fits all solution.

This webinar explores how a unified technology platform can help estates leaders move from reactive management to strategic control. By consolidating facilities, asset, energy and space data into a structured, secure single source of truth, Trusts can simplify statutory reporting, strengthen audit confidence, embed cybersecurity best practice and unlock trusted AI-driven insights.

Discover how Kier together with Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust are using an innovative digital approach to better understand and manage buildings - helping staff work more efficiently and creating a smoother, safer and more comfortable experience for patients. Using Digital Twinning technology, we can bring estates data and information together in one clear view, enabling hospital teams to prevent and quickly spot issues, reduce pressure points, and focus more time on care.

Guest Speaker: Harry Evans Authorising Engineer (AE(W)) and Chairman of IHEEM Water Technical Platform

As healthcare estates evolve to meet the twin demands of compliance management and sustainability, digital water management has become a critical enabler of safer, more efficient hospitals.

This webinar will explore how digitally connected water controls can help estates and facilities teams strengthen compliance management while balancing the need for water efficiency with the challenge of minimising stagnation risk across both new and existing healthcare buildings.

Our Rada Controls experts will unpack the latest advances in digital washroom systems, data-driven monitoring, and automated flushing - all designed to optimise compliance, improve water system performance, and safeguard patients, staff, and resources.

Whether you’re a healthcare estate manager, compliance lead, or sustainability specialist, this session will provide practical insights into how connected water management can support your organisation’s net-zero ambitions and operational safety goals.

As the theme of ‘net zero’ becomes more topical, more and more organisations are beginning to speak in the ‘language of carbon’ and are reporting their carbon emissions as an expression of their operational activity. In that regard, the NHS is the world’s first health system to commit to becoming net zero and is working towards achieving net zero emissions by 2040 (emissions directly controlled) and 2045 (emissions it can influence).

With the government’s decision to abolish NHS England, the path is now clear for long-overdue reform across the £13 billion healthcare estate. NHS Trusts must act swiftly to embrace digital transformation, replacing outdated manual processes with smarter, cost-effective solutions.

The presentation considers some of the ways in which legislative changes and the push for net zero are impacting the standby generation market. Product standards and installation guidelines are regularly reviewed but don’t necessarily keep up with the speed of change so this webinar also considers

Fire systems require testing, inspection, and maintenance to continue functioning effectively, with smoke detectors needing annual functional testing and inspection. However, this process can be disruptive, requiring access to every room in an Estate and meticulous manual recording, which can result in inaccuracies and missed detectors.
