With the Australian government budgeting $51.8 billion between 2011-2012 for the healthcare sector it is imperative that all stakeholders fully understand how to maximise the use of funding in the right ways.
As many health facilities were built in the 1960’s the health industry is now in a position that necessitates change through redevelopment, expansion, new build and maintenance of facilities that can accommodate the growing population with changing needs. Placing serious pressure on the government, the facilities and the employees within the health sector and therefore imperative that industry is equipped to meet these needs.
IQPC is pleased to present Hospital Facilities Design and Development 2011. This event has been specifically designed to educate all stakeholders involved in the planning, design, construction and funding of health facilities as well as the people employed to manage and service them to share knowledge, experience, challenges and solutions.
Sustainable design, construction and development of health facilities is key to achieve patient centricity and meet the government guidelines; it is therefore essential that you fully understand how to plan, design, construct, redevelop, manage and co-ordinate with all stakeholders effectively.
Hospital Facilities Design and Development 2011 is a unique opportunity for healthcare professionals, construction contractors, architects, consulting engineers, state and federal government to share insights and strategies on how to collaborate effectively to achieve the shared objectives.
This event will share invaluable information from organisations that have developed solutions to successfully manage and overcome these issues.
The sessions will cover the central challenges faced by all stakeholders involved in the planning, design, development and commissioning of hospital facilities! Presentations, panel sessions and discussions will combine to cover themes such as future proofing, delivery models, infection control, funding, design challenges, innovative techniques/technologies and more. You will hear a range of experiences and perspectives from across Australia and overseas, all maintaining a case study focus with learning outcomes that can help your project with practical advice and insights into common pitfalls and areas of difficulty.
