Is your health care facility designed to meet the needs of tomorrow's patients?

“Australia is in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime health infrastructure boom, with all states procuring major hospitals worth between $400 million and $2 billion” Mark Birrell, Chairman, Infrastructure Partnerships Association Pressure on states to reform infrastructure rules The Australian Financial Review, 13/08/2008

The strain on Australia's health facilities is becoming more severe than ever before.

You are redeveloping the infrastructure of your health facility but on a limited budget?!

With health facility redevelopment occurring all across Australia, is it your job to:

• Ensure your facility is sustainable for the next 40 years?
• Guarantee innovation in the design to best fit your model of care?
• Certify your staff is comfortable working in the new environment?

Being able to guarantee the redevelopment project satisfies stakeholder requirements is vital but at the same time very difficult. Whether you are looking at minor or major investment, it is critical that you get the planning, designing and developing strategy right the first time.

At Health Facilities Design and Development 2009 you will hear from best-in-class redevelopments totaling over $6 billion from across Australia. Below are just some of the case studies you will hear from out of the $10 billion dollars that has been set aside for the building of health infrastructure in Australia.
