This timely conference will be an opportunity to discuss the key issues for NHS estates - looking at the future for funding, planning and policy.
It will discuss the next steps for promoting efficiencies in the management of NHS estates, in light of the recently published NHS Long Term Plan, which aims to improve efficiency and support the effective use of capital investment.
Delegates will also assess further priorities for utilising investment in the estate, as the Government announces funding of £1bn to upgrade NHS facilities - as well as the potential role of private finance, public-private partnerships, and the impact of the Estates and Technology Transformation Fund.
Further sessions consider the progress of implementing the Government response to the Naylor Review on NHS property and estates, which supported the development of local estate plans and looked to set out a strategic approach to key areas of the review by setting up the NHS Property Board - as well as providing additional funding and reassuring NHS organisations that retained receipts from land sales can be reinvested in the NHS estate.
Attendees will also assess the priorities for the implementation of the Government Estate Strategy - Better Estate, Better Services, Better Government, which supported findings from the Naylor Review and set out plans to make the most efficient use of government property.
There will also be discussion on the development of initiatives such as the ‘Homes for Nurses’ scheme, which aims to give 3,000 NHS workers first refusal on affordable housing generated through the sale of surplus NHS land and the next steps for future collaborations between local authorities, housing associations and the NHS.
