The 2007 programme will include presentations from Dr David Charters of Building Research Establishment on evacuation, Alan Brinson, Executive Director of the European Sprinkler Network on innovation and a representative of the newly formed Fire Industries Association. Also on the programme is Mr Charles Hancock of Loughborough University on professional development and post graduate training, Mr Ian Gough representing Fire Stop Sprinklers allaying fears about retro fitting sprinkler systems and Mr Paul Roberts of the Dept of Health on the future direction of Firecode. The advent of new legislation obviously has a significant impact on all employers and advisors, but especially so on healthcare providers due to the size and risk profile of their premises and the need for employers to examine closely their compliance strategy. The requirement to be certain that all the necessary responses to the law are in place has never been greater. Conference 2007 is set against this backdrop and is sure to be interesting and enlightening.

The accompanying trade exhibition provides an opportunity for companies who have an interest in extending existing business or developing new business in the healthcare field. The NHS clearly provides one of the largest single markets for suppliers of fire safety services, materials and installations. The NAHFO annual conference provides the only national opportunity to meet and network with delegates who have a significant influence on the procurement of fire safety products and services as they are the primary source of information and influence to both capital projects and maintenance throughout the NHS.

The conference will offer delegates from all fields an interesting and varied programme, relevant and informative. For exhibitors, this event provides product exposure to a specific, influential and interested audience who are at the forefront of hospital and healthcare procurement and training.
