Australian Healthcare Week Presents: Retrofitting Healthcare Facilities 2012

One of the greatest challenges to the prosperity and success of Australia is meeting the coming healthcare demands of the population. Whether it be access to expertise in the bush or responding to endemic health trends – what is clear that healthcare cannot be viewed in silos - a collaborative, connected solution is the only remedy.

Australian Healthcare Week has been specifically designed to bring together the key stakeholders in the provisioning and delivery of healthcare. As technologies in diagnostic imaging and surgery revolutionise the fields, how we plan and develop healthcare facilities must not only keep pace, but foresee the future and this can only be achieved by a consistent dialogue between all parties involved.


Featured Speakers Include

Reducing costs and improving energy efficiency

Reducing costs and energy efficiency are major drivers for the health sector, combined with ever changing technology that can enhance the service the Australian Healthcare Week will provide delegates with an insight on how to streamline existing facilities that will achieve these objectives.

The Retrofitting Healthcare Facilities 2012 is an exclusive event that will discuss latest challenges, opportunities and solutions for retrofitting healthcare facilities whilst minimising disruption, keeping control of infection and increasing whole of life energy efficiency. Uniting leading experts from healthcare facilities, government departments, architectural practices, consulting engineers and contractors, you will gain the opportunity to network and discover how they are currently innovating and tackling common obstacles from Australian and overseas project case studies.

Unlike commercial properties, health facilities are open 24 hours a day 365 days a year which means they have the added difficulty of managing the health risks within an occupied facility. This means that whether you are retrofitting to improve energy efficiency, to accommodate redevelopment or new technology, you will need additional knowledge on how maintain tight control of infection, minimise disruption to user groups and deliver the project on time and to budget.
