title: International views on a fast-changing future.
abstract: The financial and practical impact on healthcare provision of an ageing population, the growing pressure to design sustainable healthcare facilities, and the need for a more imaginative, innovative approach to planning healthcare buildings which meet both current and future demands, were among recurring themes at a recent conference staged in Holland by the NVTG, an IFHE national member and one of The Netherlands' leading organisations for healthcare estates and facilities management personnel.
