Join us on Thursday 12 November 2026 at the Novotel Southampton for the Wessex Annual Conference, bringing together colleagues from across healthcare to examine how the design, management and development of healthcare infrastructure can support safer patient care.
This in-person event will focus on the vital relationship between infection prevention and control, estates and facilities, and the built environment. Through expert presentations, discussion and networking, the conference will consider the challenges and opportunities involved in creating and maintaining healthcare environments that are safe, resilient and fit for the future.
The programme will showcase the latest thinking and practical approaches across key areas including healthcare construction and redevelopment, ventilation, water safety, wastewater surveillance and other emerging infrastructure challenges. Attendees will hear from specialists sharing their knowledge, experiences and insights into how effective collaboration across disciplines can help reduce risk, strengthen assurance and improve outcomes for patients and staff.
