Conference Themes
Attending the IHEEM Conference is your opportunity to explore key issues in detail alongside other forward-thinking leaders, and our conference themes provide a diverse range of estate management & engineering related topics for the sharing of knowledge, experience and learning amongst healthcare professionals.
How can the estates and facilities profession effectively support and influence the delivery of the Integrated Care Systems’ future strategic planning requirements?
How can we ensure that healthcare estates services and critical functions relating to patient safety are compliant, and appropriately managed, to meet the increased governance in national policy and the legislative requirements of governing bodies such as HSE and CQC?
What are the key issues impacting the estates and facilities profession in adopting and implementing digital technologies in both the existing estate and the healthcare built environment of the future?
What are the technical, specialist, and scientific challenges that need to be addressed to ensure that future medical engineering and healthcare engineering services are designed differently, particularly in relation to the areas of ventilation, water safety, infection control, and infrastructure resilience?
How can the estates and facilities profession continue to deliver high-quality healthcare services and functions to patients as personnel face increased and conflicting challenges of capability, capacity, and efficiency, particularly around finances, workforce, and the Net Zero carbon agenda?
The Most Efficient Way to Stay Up to Date...
Your time is possibly your most valuable commodity, and having up-to-date knowledge on the latest thinking and developments is critical to delivering in your role. So how do you stay up-to-speed when you are pushed for time?
One way is to attend the Healthcare Estates Conference, where the latest information and ideas on key topics are curated for you, and where you can engage with those topics via a range of learning formats. From expert presentations, to panel Q+As, to deep-dive roundtable workshops, there are many ways to connect with both the key issues and with your peers.
