New Hospital Programme South West Meet the Contractors Event in Plymouth - 7 November 2024

Join the Trusts, the New Hospital Programme, BAM, Willmott Dixon, TClarke and other local businesses to find out more about plans for future healthcare infrastructure delivery in Plymouth and Truro and the local skills and employment opportunities these will provide.

You’ll hear more about the Women and Children’s Hospital in Truro, Cornwall, and Derriford Emergency Care Hospital in Plymouth and find out how you can get involved in delivering these critical new local investments in healthcare across the Peninsula.

The New Hospital Programme will be sharing information on how these projects are at the forefront of transforming the country’s future hospital delivery.

Willmott Dixon and BAM will be sharing their views on some of the practical issues facing the local supply chain in the delivery of these major capital projects, and asking for your ideas on how we can tackle the challenges together; and TClarke will share their insight on existing local skills gaps, and specific accreditations they’ll be looking for from local businesses in their supply chain.

We’ll also be hearing about the work of the Cornwall Construction Skills Advisory Board and our very own Emma Hewitt will be speaking on how these projects are an opportunity to work together to invest in skills for local communities.

There will be a series of round table discussions to give you the opportunity to share your thoughts on what is needed to enable businesses like yours to help us deliver these hospitals; and a discussion on what you can do differently to help us to deliver local priorities during the construction period.

Breakfast will be provided from 8.30am and there will be time built into the agenda for networking throughout the morning.
