Hosted by the South West Branch, HEFMA’s 2027 National Leadership Forum will be held from May 19 – 21 at the De Vere Cotswold Water Park. The Forum theme, ‘Delivering at Full Stretch: From Foundations to Frontline’ has been chosen to reflect the way that Estates and Facilities (E&F) are continuing to work under intense pressure, keeping buildings safe and services efficient, to provide the best environment possible for clinical colleagues to care for patients.
Ongoing challenges around the ageing estate, growing backlog maintenance, net zero targets and the workforce are being joined by new concerns, such as adaptation to climate change. The need for compliance, as well as individual and organisational resilience, remains constant, and several sessions at the Forum will share learning around delivering major projects, developments with compliance tools such as PAM and digital initiatives, along with first-hand experience of responding to significant incidents, such as fire.
The Forum programme will share insight and learning, providing key takeaways for delegates to share with colleagues and apply at their own Trusts.
HEFMA member organisations are each entitled to claim one free residential delegate place at the Forum and members will be reminded of how to do this. The person taking up this place could be anyone from the E&F team – it is not limited to Directors or senior management, so if you cannot attend in person, think of nominating someone else who could benefit from this experience.
This website will be updated with full details of the programme as it becomes available.
