With the requirement for Integrated Care Systems (ICS) to update their infrastructure strategies by the beginning of next financial year. As well as the annual pressure of delivering capital projects by April, you may find that you are in need of some swift, expert, estates advice and resource.
If you have not worked with gbpartnerships before, or it’s been a while since we’ve spoken, we’d be pleased to hear from you and explore ways in which we can help you and your team in the coming months.
Our experience is trusted by ICS’s and NHS Trusts across the country who we are working with to support their strategic planning and programme / project delivery. For example, we have been working alongside NHS Property Services at Crawley Hospital for many years, as an embedded project management team and most recently, completing a business case for the new Child Development Centre and project managing it to a successful completion at the end of last year.
