present a one-day conference on

RISK MANAGEMENT FOR ESTATES SERVICES
‘FILLING THE GAP’

held on

FRIDAY 23rd NOVEMBER 2007
at
THE CONFERENCE CENTRE,
Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust, Wrightington Hospital,
Hall Lane, Appley Bridge, Near Wigan

The conference will provide an overview of LEGISLATION affecting ESTATES SERVICES in health care premises and the challenges surrounding the risks faced by DIRECTORS and HEADS of ESTATES and FACILITIES within the NHS.

Are you aware of the level of RISK associated with ESTATES SERVICES within your organisation and are you able to present identified risks that can be easily understood at all levels within your organisation?  Using a tried and tested RISK MODEL designed for the NHS in partnership with Loughborough University, the conference will demonstrate using practical examples, how to undertake a risk gap analysis which will enable Senior Managers and Trust Boards to better understand and target often limited resources towards the elimination of identified estate risks.

Are your Operational Estates staffing levels acceptable, or do you believe they are inadequate to deliver the level of service required? The conference will offer a manpower gap analysis tool which will enable Estates Managers to quantify optimum staffing levels to meet ever increasing demands arising from legislation and guidance. Speakers will explain how historical data can be used to identify the level of increased risk in a simple format that can be used to determine the resources required.

Risk assessment solutions designed to cover a range of risks to the Estates will be presented and to compliment the main theme of risk management, the Health and Safety Executive will inform the audience of the national H&S agenda targeted at the NHS and of their expectations of Managers with specific responsibility for Estates Services in the NHS.

The cost of attending the conference is £100.00 per person.  This includes attendance at the conference, course handouts, coffee/tea/bacon roll on arrival, mid morning coffee/tea and a two course buffet lunch.

MELYVN LANGFORD, MSc, BSc, CEng, MIMechE, MCIBSE
Management Consultant, Operational Risk, Stockton-on-Tees

Melvyn has been employed by the NHS for over 30 years. In this time he has developed a demonstrable career progressing from assistant engineer at Middlesbrough General Hospital, through the ranks (and numerous reorganisations) to Estates & Facilities manager at a number of Trusts.  In 1997 he was invited by NHS Estates to undertake research and provide managerial consultancy services via ‘process consultation’ techniques relating to aspects of day-to-day operational risk. This success led to the partnering with Loughborough University’s Centre of Risk and Hazard Management section under their Management Department in order to further develop the research. This research over the years has centred on the design and implementation of a practical four stage risk model specifically for use within NHS Trust estates departments, but due to its success the model has now moved into full facility management and beyond.  Due to the civil service arms length review decision to close NHS Estates, Melvyn is now effectively doing the same as he did whilst at NHS Estates but as an independent consultant whilst still continuing with the research at Loughborough University.
