Property developers focussing on developing space for health and care, Prime are committed to building a better future, one that rejects the change paralysis of the past and cultivates collaborative progress.
Our first podcast series, Space for Change in Health and Care, brings together experts from across the health and property spaces, from local councils to management consultants, wellbeing experts to hospital programme directors to explore some of the critical roles that property development has to play in a landscape shaped by COVID-19.
The first episode, ‘The Principles for Change in NHS Estates’ airing 1 April 2022 features Leighton Chumbley, Prime’s Chief Executive and Emma Sargent, Associate Director for Construction. They are joined by Paul Sherriff, Director of Partnerships at the NHS, Birmingham and Solihull CCG, Dr Christina Walding, Management Consultant for Infrastructure, Government and Healthcare at KPMG, and Matt Tebbatt, MD of One Creative Environments. The podcast is hosted by Natalie Burns, Partner at UnitedUs and edited by CJ Thorpe-Tracey for LoFi Arts.
This expert panel discusses the extraordinary rate of transformation that COVID-19 has caused and the knock-on effect on NHS estates, an area notorious for their slow evolution. Particularly focussing on the importance of leadership and partnership the podcast looks at how to ensure health and care spaces are fit for purpose in a system reeling from the pandemic.
“We’ve proven during the pandemic that a sense of urgency and a trust in people drives ambition to get things done, because it needs to happen now. We now know this is doable so we don’t need to have these delayed and difficult processes to get an estate developed or changed. We can do it quickly and efficiently, and with the focus on value for money that is required.”
