Working together to deliver Healthy Places
At a time when the NHS is facing challenges never seen before, these projects are integral in helping to support the health service move forwards. In 2023/24, we are committed to supporting customers in tackling health inequalities and responding to NHS priorities such as community diagnostic centres and Covid-19 recovery support.
Projects include refurbishments and new builds, creating social prescribing spaces, introducing new NHS Open Space locations for flexible booking, and improving NHS staff welfare areas and improving the accessibility of NHS buildings.
All projects support local NHS estate plans through collaboration with commissioners and wider Integrated Care System (ICS) partners. This allows rapid delivery of projects by aligning local and national property capacity and capability, knowledge sharing of best practice and continuous learning.
We are keen to work more closely with Integrated Care Systems (ICSs) to identify and support regional priorities and emerging ICS estate strategies – both those we are already working on and emerging requirements.
