title: Winning the battle for greater efficiency.
abstract: The keynote speeches at this year's Healthcare Estates conference, which was themed 'Putting positive energy into healthcare', included a rousing address by former Welsh Guardsman, and Falklands War veteran, Simon Weston, describing his extraordinary recovery after suffering extensive burns when his troop ship was hit by an Argentinian bomb in June 1982, as well three estates and facilities-orientated presentations from senior sector players, on topics ranging from public sector energy procurement, to how those English NHS Trusts still seeking Foundation Trust status can 'raise the bar' sufficiently to achieve this.
