The flexible approach to estate design
Our Heads of Property Development and Portfolio Optimisation outline NHS Property Services evolving response to the pandemic.
"It is more important than ever that we support our NHS colleagues in preparing for the additional pressures of the months ahead. Drawing on our experience from the first wave, we are ready. By continuing to be flexible in our approach and supporting customers, we will help support our clinical colleagues to deliver world-class healthcare."
NHS Open Space launches 40 new sites
Following a successful reopening of sites over summer post-lockdown, NHS Open Space has launched 40 new sites across the UK.
The scheme, which offers clinical and meeting space within the NHS on a pay-as-you-go basis, now includes over 530 rooms across 60 sites from Sunderland to Portsmouth. With the addition of these new sites, the scheme will be able to reinvest additional funds into the NHS and has ambitious expansion plans to add another 40-60 sites by March 2021.
Driving a greener NHS
NHS England has recently announced the NHS is aiming to be net zero carbon by 2040.
With over 3000 properties in our portfolio - that's 10% of the NHS estate - we have a big responsibility to reduce the negative environmental impact of our buildings and creating awareness amongst our people and the occupiers of our buildings to help us do this. How are we doing this?
