National Healthcare Estates and Facilities Day

National Healthcare Estates and Facilities Day 2026

Today (17 June) is National Healthcare Estates and Facilities Day – a time to recognise the role of the Estates and Facilities Management (EFM) workforce, reflect on the vital work carried out by these professionals, and the value this gives to our patients and colleagues.

Our amazing unsung heroes in Estates and Facilities Management (EFM) work tirelessly to keep all our services running smoothly, 24/7, 365 days a year – every colleague plays a vital role. National Healthcare Estates and Facilities Day is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on our amazing EFM colleagues and celebrate all they do.

Members of our Estates and Facilities Senior Management team, alongside our Trust Chief Executive Douglas Blair and Director of Finance Sandra Betney, will be out and about visiting sites across the Trust to personally celebrate and thank our EFM colleagues.

Throughout the day, they will be meeting teams, recognising the vital role they play in supporting and enabling exceptional patient care, and expressing our heartfelt gratitude for their dedication and hard work.

As a small token of our immense appreciation, colleagues will receive a small gift and a special ‘thank you’ card.

This annual event is a wonderful opportunity to shine a spotlight on the incredible contribution our EFM teams make every single day!
