Across the public and private sector, data and technology are changing the way things are done. In healthcare, there remains an opportunity to revolutionise facilities management. For example, hospital buildings can be managed intelligently with sensor technology to facilitate demand-led cleaning, prioritising resources for high-traffic and heavily utilised areas. This allows clinical staff to focus on patient care with the assurance their surroundings are spotlessly clean.
The importance of the human touch in NHS care must not be overlooked. Exceptional people working for healthcare organisations and their partners are essential. From delivering nutritious meals with a smile, to providing safe and hygienic clinical environments, and supporting sustainable healthcare, dedicated colleagues are critical to supporting the NHS and its patients.
