As we approach a decade since Grenfell, the 3rd Annual NHS Estates Fire Safety Forum turns to competence in practice: what demonstrable competence actually looks like across the fire door lifecycle, from specification and installation through to risk-based maintenance and governance.
With the forthcoming HTM 05-01 sharpening expectations around fire safety leadership, Independent Expert Advisors and accountability — and HTM 05-03’s risk-based maintenance and Primary and Secondary Fire Risk Assessments now embedding responsibility across Trusts — the practical questions are only getting harder.
Alongside real NHS Trust case studies, attendees will have the opportunity to contribute to and peer-review the NAHFO Paper researching how to achieve and maintain suitably compliant fire doors in healthcare buildings, helping strengthen the understanding, application and scrutiny of existing risk-based guidance across the sector. We're inviting a panel of speakers to share candid, front-line experience: where competence-led fire safety is working, where it isn't, and the practical lessons worth passing on.
On Wednesday, 20th January 2027, 08:30-11:00am, we're inviting industry leaders and fire safety specialists across the healthcare sector to gather at The SDS Hub, Tower Bridge, or remotely via Microsoft Teams for our 2nd Annual NHS Estates Fire Safety Forum.
