Workshops Seminars

We know how to design clinically excellent models of care, and we know how to design amazing space and engineer truly magnificent buildings.  But we are overwhelmed with policy, guidance, information and targets about sustainable design, placemaking and the development of healing space meaning that sometimes the baby gets thrown out with the bath water.

This brief workshop will discuss what excellence means and how to ensure successful capital projects that:

• - meet the strategic brief for healthcare delivery
• - embrace sustainability, NZC and the digital agenda
• - engineer value from the get-go
• - deliver value for money
• - achieve the critical success factors across disciplines

We live in a digital world where vast amounts of information are available and new technologies are constantly emerging. Digitisation at the user interface enables:

• - optimum functionality
• - improved user experience and control
• - integration of services, systems and functions
• - plan efficient clinical models

From an estate perspective it provides invaluable data to understand space and energy utilisation and helps:

• - manage existing estate and assets
• - track resources
• - reduce revenue costs

Following on from our mini workshop “Delivering excellence in capital projects” this session will discuss what “smart” actually means and why to deliver excellence digital technologies must be planned for at inception.

12:00Led by the ProCure23 team at NHS England with input from ProCure23’s Principal Supply Chain Partners, this two-hour long session will provide updates on new guidance and tools, share best practice, and facilitate discussion, knowledge sharing, and networking.  

ProCure23 is the preferred route to market for the provision of design and construction services to NHS capital projects, delivered in partnership with Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as part of the CWAS2 procurement framework. ProCure23 was awarded NEC Client of the Year Award in 2023.

NHS England’s Technical Standards and Guidance programme is responsible for a rolling programme of Standards and Guidance for the NHS estate. They have issued ten documents in the year to July 2024 with more targeted for release ahead of Healthcare Estates 2024. 

The session will provide the chance to hear priorities for new documents, lessons learned and plans for enhancing the programme.  

There will also be an interactive workshop for attendees to input their valuable feedback directly into the programme. The session will feature the national leads for the programme: Fiona Daly, Michael Rope and Abigail Pride and partners Archus.
