23rd to 25th May 2012, Telford

 

 

 

 

HefmA extends a warm invitation to the 15th Annual Health estates facilities management Association Conference and Exhibition hosted in the Trent region.

 

A stunning conference and exhibition venue, with accomodation on site. Excellent transport links for rail, air and road, it's 45 minutes from Birmingham and less than 2 hours from London or Manchester.

 

The clock is ticking.
April 2012 will bring around fundamental change to the English health service.

 

Will it still be a 'National' Health Service? Or will the current administration have put in place irreversible changes which fundamentally change the face of our healthcare forever.
