Over £173 billion reasons to join the HCN
When the NHS was launched in 1948, it had a budget of £437 million (roughly £15 billion at today’s value). Planned expenditure for 2022/2023 is £173.8 billion. On top of this the private healthcare sector generates over £6 billion mainly through operations and treatments and this excludes the amount spent on mental health and primary care. Private healthcare activity is rising as people are unwilling to wait to receive treatment due to the pandemic increasing hospital wait times.
Be in front ... Stay informed
The Healthcare Construction Network (HCN) is a networking organisation where our members interact with peers working in their relevant sector.
The HCN is a forum for sharing information on markets and bid and tender opportunities in an open and informal environment.
Our attendees come from a wide range of backgrounds from clients, architects, engineers and main contractors to Health planners, NHS Trusts and practitioners - all of whom share a passion for Healthcare.
All our events take place at the The Society Building Fitzrovia - 55 Whitfield St, London W1T 4AH.
The event starts at 7:45am with an hour of networking. Tea, coffee, pastries and rolls will be served. We then move on to the presentations. Each presenter will talk for 10-15 minutes. After the presentations we ask all presenters back on to the stage for a Q&A session.
We aim to close the session around 10:00-10:15am with a final 15mins for tea and coffee.
If you are interested in taking part in any of our panel discussion or if you have a topic which you would like to see on our programme please get in touch.
