The conference aims to provide an environment where IPS professionals can meet in person to share ideas and learn from both experts and each other.
There is a strong focus in NHS Scotland now on the built environment. In addition to topics related to the design and construction of healthcare facilities, the conference event will also offer practical skills, enabling delegates to better support their boards and organisations in Building the Future.
