Delivering ongoing efficiencies whilst providing good working conditions for staff and service users is a full time challenge for most Trusts’ estates and facilities teams. Recruiting and retaining good clinical and support staff is a growing challenge and we should not underestimate the quality of the workplace and it’s impact on morale, productivity and attrition. Coupled with the many saving targets set, perpetual bidding support for retaining existing or winning new services, let alone planning ahead, it is easy to see why even the most organised estates department is finding it hard to meet their targets. This is where we can help – we’re experienced at working with community and mental health services in particular, and can give you that little bit of extra help and advice to look ahead.
