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.
How to return to a smarter way of working
Kate Richardson, our Head of National Office Programme, speaks to The HR Director Magazine on the adoption of smarter working during and beyond Covid-19.
COVID-19 has caused many unprecedented changes to the way employees work. These changes, have not only shown that organisations are able to operate effectively whilst working remotely, but also that the adoption of flexible working has improved employee wellbeing and efficiency.
Driving a greener NHS
Climate change and the way we interact with our environment has a significant impact on our health.
With over 3000 properties in our portfolio - that's 10% of the NHS estate - NHS Property Services is in prime position to lead the way in reaching net zero carbon by reducing the negative environmental impact of our buildings and creating awareness amongst our people and the occupiers of our buildings to help us do this.
