Unlocking NHS Estates’ Hidden Capacity without Capital Projects


25 min viewing time

Do you have clear visibility of how your estate is being used?

Many NHS estates teams already have a sense that parts of their estate are under-used, but it is often difficult to prove this with confidence. Traditional utilisation studies are often slow, resource-intensive, and difficult to scale. A more practical approach is to start small, targeted utilisation exercise — by deploying low-cost, portable and battery-powered sensors in specific departments to quickly gather evidence on how spaces are actually used. No complex IT or Wi-Fi integration. No need to commit upfront to a full estate-wide rollout. Just a clear, real-time utilisation insight that allows estates teams to make evidence-based decisions.

Learning outcomes

  • Build a clear, evidence-based utilisation picture
  • Identify opportunities for consolidation and repurposing
  • Supporting Net Zero targets through more efficient space use
