You are invited to apply to the East Midlands and Eastern Academic Health Sciences Networks’ Innovation Exchange focused on Estates and Facilities.
We are seeking innovations that respond to the following challenge statements that have been developed in partnership with colleagues from across the health system:
Challenge statements
How might we improve estates utilisation across a health and care system through use of innovations?
• How can we manage room/facility/equipment booking across estates (possibly including non-NHS premises and link booking to clinical rostering?
• How can we understand the utilisation of space across multiple estates (possibly including non-NHS premises?)
• How can we better use non-hospital estate given that most of the care is NOT delivered in hospital premises?)
How might we reduce energy and wide utility costs in our health and care estates using clean tech?
How might we support better day to day operations and maintenance of healthcare premises?
• How can we ensure appropriate infection control (relevant to the use of the estate in question)?
• How can we monitor and maintain equipment across a portfolio of estates? For example, temperature monitoring and automated alerts to failing refrigeration equipment
How can we assist people with complex needs navigate their way around our premises (wayfinding)?
An event on 3rd October 2019 at Peterborough Showground will show case innovations that will both inspire and practically help shape the future of NHS estates and facilities in this region to enable the delivery of excellent care.
The scope encompasses everything related to the places where care is delivered, both the buildings themselves and the systems that keep them running, such as heating and lighting.
