Exhibition Features

To ensure Healthcare Estates delivers the widest possible audience of relevant buyers, influencers and specifiers, the 2012 event will have a number of key features. The features will be free to attend and will be selective in their content and timings to ensure high attendance and create a buzz on the exhibition floor.

Focus on FM Area

Our Focus on FM showcase area includes a series of presentations visitors can attend, consisting of short case study based talks that will explore some of the key topics, presented by industry experts. Co-ordinated by the Healthcare Facilities Consortium, exhibiting under the Focused FM branding with their partners, you can be sure that these short talks will be high quality and very relevant.

Picking up on the fact that the NHS needs to do more with less and trying to separate the fact from the fiction, our objective is to replace the hype with some reality, by showing what is already being done either in the NHS or in a commercial setting relevant to healthcare facilities.
