Current Landscape and Challenges
The NHS is entering one of the most significant estate transformation programmes in its history. As the NHS 10-Year Plan accelerates the shift from hospital-based care to community-led delivery, estates and facilities teams are at the centre of enabling new models of care through modern, sustainable, digitally connected infrastructure.
A key priority is the development of hundreds of Neighbourhood Health Centres (NHCs), bringing together primary care, diagnostics, mental health, pharmacy, social care, and urgent care services within integrated local hubs. Delivering this vision requires more than capital investment alone, it demands new skills in estate planning, asset optimisation, digital infrastructure delivery, sustainability, workforce development, and long-term strategic transformation.
Alongside the expansion of community-based facilities, the NHS must address aging infrastructure, high-risk maintenance backlogs, net zero commitments, workforce challenges, and increasing demand for data-driven estate management. Success will depend on the ability of leaders and practitioners to translate national ambitions into practical, deliverable estate strategies that improve patient access, operational efficiency, and long-term resilience.
Summit Focus
EstatesVision 2027 is designed for NHS estates, facilities, infrastructure, capital projects, and property professionals. The programme moves beyond policy discussion to focus on practical implementation, equipping delegates with frameworks, tools, and real-world examples that can be applied immediately within their organisations.
Dedicated Skill Clinics will explore proven approaches to estate planning, capital delivery, sustainability programmes, digital infrastructure development, and neighbourhood healthcare hub implementation.
Lessons Learned Sessions will provide candid reflections from senior leaders who have delivered complex estate transformations, sharing what worked, what failed, and how challenges were overcome.
This year’s event is structured around clear outcomes. Delegates will leave understanding:
- Neighbourhood Health Centre Development and Estate Planning: Designing and delivering modern community-based facilities that support integrated care, improve access, and reduce reliance on acute hospital settings.
- Digital Infrastructure and Intelligent Estates: Developing connected, data-driven estates that support AI-enabled healthcare, virtual wards, diagnostics, smart buildings, and patient-facing technologies.
- Safety, Compliance, and Backlog Reduction: Addressing high-risk maintenance challenges, improving estate resilience, and strengthening governance, safety, and regulatory compliance.
- Net Zero, Sustainability, and Green Infrastructure: Delivering sustainable estates that reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, support environmental targets, and create long-term operational value.
- Workforce Capability and Estates Leadership: Building the skills, leadership capacity, and workforce resilience required to deliver large-scale estate transformation and infrastructure programmes.
- Capital Investment, Delivery, and Transformation: Managing capital programmes, business cases, and infrastructure delivery to support the NHS's long-term vision for modern, integrated healthcare environments.
