Flying high

Nothing succeeds like success, the saying goes, and this year the Facilities TAG is following up it's very successful 1996 with another three-conference season,all of them on highly topical and relevant subjects.

The first conference,which will examine Facilities Management in a Changing World,will be held on Thursday, 8 October 1997 in the Atlantic Suite, at Terminal 2 of Manchester Airport.The last few years have seen significant improvements in the management of support services and the conference will focus on best practice in the NHS and the private sector.

It will also consider the image of Facilities Management and will examine ways of raising its profile within a Trust.

Leadership qualities will be next to come under the spotlight,at an event entitled Leading & Motivating the Team.Motivating staff at all levels is one of the key objectives of Support Services managers in the NHS and is vital if employees are to maximise their potential.

Persuading staff to support the organisation ’s mission and values is the key to providing high-quality, cost-effective services.

The conference is scheduled for Wednesday, 4 March 1998,at British Aerospace’s premises in Warton near Preston.The conference will include high calibre speakers from both the NHS and the private sector and will also include a tour of the aerospace site. It promises to be an event not to be missed.

Next up is a conference entitled PFI Initiatives in the NHS,planned for later in 1998.This event will include speakers who have been involved in PFI initiatives and will concentrate on how PFI has matured since its inception.
