The Value of Property Digital Twins in the NHS: Aligning with Government Policies and AI Requirements
The UK’s National Health Service (NHS), one of the world's largest publicly funded healthcare systems, manages a vast and complex estate, including over 1,200 hospitals, thousands of clinics, GP surgeries, and administrative buildings. Managing such an extensive estate efficiently is essential to delivering high-quality patient care, meeting sustainability targets, and ensuring the financial viability of the healthcare system. With increasing demand, financial constraints, and sustainability commitments such as the Net Zero NHS plan, there is a pressing need to optimise how NHS facilities are managed. One of the most promising innovations in this regard is the adoption of Property Digital Twins (PDTs) virtual replicas of physical assets that provide real-time data on building performance, environmental conditions, and operational efficiency. Learn how by embracing Property Digital Twins, the NHS can transform its approach to estate management, achieving significant cost savings, enhancing patient care, and contributing to national sustainability goals.

Lessons Unlearned: How the Dagenham Fire Highlights the Urgent Need for a Golden Thread of Information
In the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy in 2017, where 72 people lost their lives, the need for a comprehensive approach to building safety became starkly evident. The public inquiry highlighted a devastating reality: critical information about the building's structure, materials, and fire safety measures was either missing, outdated, or scattered across various documents and databases. This fragmentation of information—a far cry from the "Golden Thread" of safety data that should have been in place—played a crucial role in the disaster. Fast forward to 2023, and the fire at an apartment block in Dagenham served as a grim reminder that the lessons of Grenfell have not yet been fully learned.
