title: A proactive approach to power advocated.
abstract: A 'bury your head in the sand' approach to resilience planning is simply not an option for today's healthcare estates managers, according to Billy Durie, contingency planning sector manager at Aggreko, a global specialist in temporary power and temperature control solutions. Here he explains why hospital estates teams need to be prepared for the worst, and prescribes a solution for facilities managers to cope effectively with power outages and temperature control failures.
