Featuring Keynote sessions, expert presentations, debates, roundtables, and a major exhibition with over 230 leading companies and industry associations, Healthcare Estates offers an unparalleled platform for informed debate, practical learning, investigation of the latest offerings from the commercial world, and identification of technical solutions.

Entry to the Healthcare Estates Exhibition Hall is free with an Exhibition Visitor Pass, which gives access to the UK’s largest showcase of products and services for the healthcare estates and facilities sector, plus entry to all Keynote sessions and to the six Exhibition Theatres with 75 free-to-attend presentations to choose from.

Those looking to dive deeper into the key strategic and operational challenges for the sector can upgrade to a Conference Delegate Pass. This gives exclusive access to over 40 sessions of additional premium content, including a choice of interactive roundtable workshops, plus a range of on-site benefits.

 This year’s over-arching event theme is “Prevention is Better Than Cure”, reflecting the need to plan proactively to avoid repeating mistakes, reduce risk, and ensure that new and existing healthcare facilities meet the needs of patients, staff and communities.

Attendees will be immersed in this critical theme from the very first Keynote session of the event – where senior estates leaders from England, Scotland and Wales will share their candid reflections on where the delivery of Estates Management and Engineering services has gone wrong, the lessons learned, and how those experiences can shape better practice for the future. The two-day programme builds to an interactive closing Keynote session entitled, “Where Do We Go From Here?”, where attendees can come together with healthcare leaders and subject-matter experts to share and discuss key takeaways on “Prevention is Better than Cure”, explore how we move forward, and network.

In advance of the event, the organisers are working with speakers to identify and collate key insights into a Healthcare Estates “Prevention is Better than Cure” Digest – featuring submissions from selected speakers sharing key insights and lessons from their presentations – which is made available to all attendees of Day 2 of the event.
