Healthcare is NIFES’ largest customer sector, and we are proud of the support we are providing to the NHS today. Our services enable NHS Trusts and Boards to meet their objectives and thereby better serve society in the UK as a whole.

Our support is both practical and strategic. Many of our services can be accessed in our NHS PASA contract for Energy & Environmental Consultancy and Management Services, now extended to July 2010.

Examples of our recent work which illustrate the diversity of NIFES offering to the Healthcare sector include:

• Property Appraisal: We are acknowledged experts in the delivery of 6-facet surveys, Risk Assessment of Backlog and Estate Strategy Consultancy.
  
  
• Sustainability Consultancy: We are acting as Sustainability Consultants for several major Healthcare Developments; covering not only building design, but planning for the sustainability profile throughout the use of the facility.
  
  
• Energy Efficiency and Carbon Management: We are spearheading the Carbon Strategies of many major Trusts in-keeping with the NHS Carbon Reduction Strategy “Reducing Carbon, Improving Health”.
  
  
• Staff Awareness Campaigns: We are a leading provider of Energy and Carbon Awareness Training and have a proven record of success in the NHS.
  
  
• Building Services Design: We are currently completing a major theatre refurbishment programme and the implementation of many services upgrade projects.
  
  
• Combined Heat and Power: In the last three years, NIFES has implemented ten CHP schemes which will produce 30000 tonnes of CO2 emissions savings for the NHS. A further four schemes are underway.
  
  
• Services Infrastructure: Throughout the UK, NIFES are acting as advisors and designers on mechanical and electrical infrastructure strategies, aimed at sustainable, effective and economic provision of vital services for the future of the NHS.
  
  
• Statutory Compliance: We introduce specialist knowledge on the complex but critical issues associated with legislative compliance in the context of the HTM framework.

In summary, NIFES offers an impressive range of consultancy services to the NHS with a proven track record of success in each field. For more information, contact Andy Hannah on 0141 332 2453.
