2017 is set to become a pivotal year for NHS property professionals. It is a year that will see CHP, NHS Property Services and other as yet unnamed agencies transition into a new single, central property body.
It is a year that will see the beginning of the implementation of the Sustainability and Transformation Plans (STPs) by each of the 44 geographical ‘footprints’.
It is a year in which pressures upon health and care services are forecast by many observers to reach new heights and crucially, it is the year when the Naylor Report recommendations start to be put into effect.
NHS Property 2017 (the sixth year of the annual event) will provide the perfect opportunity for circa 250 senior NHS personnel who have an interest in and responsibility for property and land, to come together with their peers to hear from the senior level policy makers, strategists and solution providers that the event always attracts.
Wednesday 22nd November, One Great George Street, London SW1P 3AA

Why housing needs to be your new best friend
Nick will outline how the housing sector can help both health providers and commissioners to achieve the nirvana of reducing costs whilst also improving the quality of services. Without sharing any spoilers for the content of the session, this is through the development of an increasingly diverse range of housing related solutions, applying the learning from both the Liverpool City Region and also Greater Manchester.

3A Review, plan, develop
A three-part presentation examining how to understand, optimise and release the latent value in your estate, aligned to the objectives identified by Sir Robert Naylor.
The release of assets for reinvestment, land for homes, reduced backlog maintenance, improved utilisation of existing premises.
What will you get from this session?
1 Review
A practical methodology for reviewing property portfolios- synthesising data on properties and clinical need with robust challenge on performance in order to categorise assets on the basis of ‘release’ or ‘retain’.
2 Plan
Actions to maximise site value through the planning process, illustrated with case studies on public sector sites.
3 Develop
An award winning approach
Carrowbreck Meadow, Norwich – a residential development scheme of 14 Passivhaus dwellings, to be featured on Channel Four ‘Grand Designs’ on 21st November
In awarding the RTPI national excellence in planning to deliver housing the judges commented: “NPS Group spotted an opportunity for housing in a rural area and systematically engaged with the community to develop the project. We were impressed with the innovative and proactive approach taken and the excellent use of publicly owned land. There is a good proportion of affordable housing on the site.”
The project was delivered by a joint venture development company, all the units are sold and the development has returned over £1m to the public purse.
Melvyn Stone, Estates Director, NPS Property Consultants
Alan Phelps, Strategic Asset Management Consultant, NPS Property Consultants
Andy Scales, Head of Planning Consultancy, NPS Property Consultants
3B The NHS Estate – source of funding for a new estate or a constraint?
Are the hurdles to releasing value from the estate just too high to overcome – continuity of healthcare provision; shortage of internal professional resources; two tier market – south east and the rest of the UK; town planning delays; remediation risk; affordable housing requirements, development programme and market uncertainty.
It is accepted that at health level the NHS is trying to deliver first class services to a range and complexity for which it was not designed. At property level the same is true; the NHS estate is substantial, in parts obsolete but valuable and a source of funding to create a new fit for purpose estate – but this enabling development strategy of releasing value to subsidise new building is too simplistic. This work session looks at some ways in which financial and technical resources can be introduced that will accelerate development without compromising the key objective of continuity of first class service.
Stephen Armitage, Director, Real Estate Advisory, Lambert Smith Hampton
The pair will discuss some recent case studies both here in the UK and across the pond, analysing the importance of design, not just architectural design but healthcare services design, technology design and commercial/financial design. The key components now required to ensure that hospital care is sustainable and has a viable role for the future.
Most Sustainable Transformation Plans (STP’s) now require an element of new or replacement infrastructure including for example a new community hospital or a health care hub. The difficulties to delivery remain the same and in today’s world, system leaders need to be innovative in design to get a project off the ground. The main objective is the reduction of financial cost burden on the public purse and delivery of fit-for-purpose healthcare. However we can’t just create a modern means to the same end? The solution must be disruptive and drive real change at pace. The pair will discuss what innovation they have witnessed over the past 12 month and what we might expect moving forward, including the advancement of technology.
Discussions will include:
1. Health system evolution
2. The current challenges for hospital care
3. Acute care cost control – learning from the US
4. Service based asset strategies – technology
5. Commercial design and reducing the cost burden of the built environment

Howard therefore is often involved with the development of estate strategies and identifying opportunities which are then prepared and taken to the market. This also means that Howard is often involved with the development of Outline and Full Business Cases which go to the Treasury to justify the rationale on how a project can be delivered.
In addition to the bigger picture strategy work, he is also very focussed on the detail as this where in development scenarios value can be gained.
