With a new government comes a changed focus on healthcare estates, with many questions lingering around the state of initiatives such as the New Hospitals Programme, as well as the age-old question as to how the construction sector can help keep the estate up to scratch.

The session will address the strategies required to accelerate project delivery and meet healthcare demands, with a focus on forming stronger partnerships—whether with contractors, competitors, or public sector stakeholders—to secure and execute larger, more complex projects.

The panel will also consider lessons learned from other public sector projects, examining effective models for winning work and driving successful outcomes. This session will provide essential insights into how the construction industry can collaborate more effectively and respond to the evolving needs of the UK’s healthcare system.
