The NHS is one of the largest employers in the world, meaning it has a significant carbon footprint that it is working hard to reduce. Radical new ways of managing the NHS estate are needed, and this is why NHS Property Services is leading the way with the development of one of the first net zero health centres in England – the Devizes Health Centre in Wiltshire.

Healthcare is evolving through digitalisation and widening network capacity whilst simultaneously collecting a greater range and depth of data. The NHS is the largest integrated healthcare provider in the world with a supply chain consisting of more than 80,000 suppliers. The amalgamation of different estates, the multiplicity of legacy systems and the diversity of technology, people, processes and culture makes it a hugely complex environment. This is also vulnerable to Cyber Security attacks including data breaches where sensitive patient records may be attained for extortion, disruption or resale on the dark web.
