Regulator engagement will drive take-up

In June's HEJ we reported on the first 'half' of a recent IHEEM roundtable held in Manchester in conjunction with an expert panel that included Department of Health representatives, and members of the working group that developed it, discussing the latest, 'revised and updated' NHS Premises Assurance Model. The roundtable was the first in a series IHEEM is planning to stage with the DH over the next year (a number of further such events have been held since) to promote the Model's benefits to the estates and facilities community, and encourage wider take-up. Here we cover the 'second half' of this initial panel discussion and debate, and some of the interesting questions it raised.
