Estates as an enabler of Integrated Care: translating strategy to delivery (Confirmed)
Cambridgeshire & Peterborough was the first ICS to develop and deliver a system estates strategy in March 2023.
The strategy is designed to consider the current population needs of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, alongside how the estate the ICS holds will need to change in the future to meet the current and future requirements of our population.
We know that the needs of our population will continue to change over time, and how we work as a health and care system will evolve too. Our future aspirations need to be underpinned by a robust, yet innovative, system estates strategy that provides us with the foundation we need to deliver outstanding health and care services both now and in the future.
This presentation gives an overview of how this strategy was developed, our journey so far and how we are working to translate strategy into delivery.

Developing Carbon Reduction Plans to support the NHS with Net Zero (Confirmed)
The National Health Service (NHS) is taking significant steps towards becoming a net-zero health service, and suppliers have a vital role to play in reducing carbon emissions. Starting from April 2023, NHS suppliers bidding for contracts above £5 million per annum must publish a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) to address their Scope 1, 2, and a subset of Scope 3 emissions. This new requirement aligns with the government's procurement policy and reflects the NHS's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.
Prepare for the NHS's carbon reduction plan requirements and join Kim Johnson, Group Head of Business Development, and Rob Molyneux, Sustainability Unit Director at Delta-Simons to learn how to develop effective and compliant Carbon Reduction Plans.
Together, we can make a significant impact on carbon emissions and work towards a net-zero future for the NHS and the healthcare sector as a whole.
How to help facilities services become a fully integrated part of the organisation (Confirmed)
Case Study - DNV Imatis
DNV Imatis’ digital healthcare solutions have helped hospital facilities services become a fully integrated part of the healthcare organisation through digitised systems that provide fast and reliable inter-departmental communications. Including portering, catering, cleaning services and maintenance services. We will share how patient safety is optimised and workflows enhanced by enabling ward staff to make support service requests on any device. Receiving real-time information on digital whiteboards, smartphones or desktop devices help plan and limit disruptions and delays to care provision.
Air Cleaning in a Psychiatric Inpatient Setting - Another Layer of Protection Against Covid-19/Airborne Viruses? (Confirmed)
Psychiatric inpatient settings are vulnerable to COVID 19 outbreaks. Patients with severe mental illness may have significant physical health co-morbidities placing them at greater vulnerability. When outbreaks occur despite infection control is there more that can be done to mitigate against airborne viruses in such settings?

What does the PSTN Switch Off mean for you and your organisations? (Confirmed)
The traditional landline telephone network in the UK, the ‘PSTN’, is end of life and set to be fully retired by December 2025.
This impacts almost all analogue phone lines nationally, both business and residential, and the technologies relying on them.
Recent FOI requests show close to 50% of all NHS organisations still having no strategy for remediation or even knowledge of the potential impact of this industry led programme of work.
Estates and Facilities departments up and down the country have an array of services or technologies that utilise copper telephony, be it alarms, lifts or parking barriers and payment terminals.
The session will give an overview of the programme from an Openreach perspective and then internal insight into the impact, potential costs/savings and opportunities that the closure of the PSTN will throw up.
