"text": "
The NHS has long been a treasured institution in Britain. Since 1948, it has adapted to meet the needs of a changing society, with healthcare demand shifting away from treating acute diseases and towards preventing and managing long-term, complex conditions.
As we look ahead to the next 80 years, supporting the resilience of our healthcare facilities and their ability to serve an ageing and growing population is increasingly important. With growing threats from climate change, Mark Walker discusses in Property Week what healthcare estate decision-makers should be prioritising and the factors shaping investment decisions.
