About Next Gen
Health Facilities
Australia's health infrastructure market is entering its biggest growth and transformation phase in a generation. As demographic, clinical and technological forces reshape what care looks like, one question sits at the centre of every capital decision being made today: what will the hospital of the future actually need to be?
What was once a standalone conference for the health infrastructure sector has evolved. The Health Facilities Design & Development Summit now finds its home as a fully-fledged zone within AHW 2027 — bringing the same depth of content and calibre of conversation to Australia's largest healthcare gathering.
The Next Gen Health Facilities Stage is a dedicated stage where architects, capital works teams, planners, facility managers and health executives come together to explore what the healthcare built environment needs to become over the next decade.
A Standardised, Repeatable and Industrialised Approach to Hospital Design and Delivery.
To give you a taste of the conversations taking place this October, we're sharing an exclusive presentation from NHS England's New Hospital Program, exploring how one of the world's largest health systems is transforming hospital delivery through standardisation, repeatability and industrialised design.
Presented by Doug Baldock, Technical Services Director, New Hospital Program, NHS England and Emily King, Industrialisation Director, New Hospital Program, NHS England
Why Attend Next Gen Health Facilities Stage
LEARN
Hear directly from the architects, capital works leaders, planners and facility executives specifying and funding the future of Australian healthcare. Across two days, sessions unpack how evidence-based design, clinical workflow and patient experience are converging to shape world-class care environments — from major hospital redevelopments to aged care residences, community health centres and primary care clinics.
DISCOVER
See and touch the solutions driving modern healthcare infrastructure — modular construction, sustainable materials, smart building technology, infection control design, energy management, digital infrastructure and patient environment solutions. All under one roof, covering every scale and every budget shaping Australia's next generation of health facilities.
CONNECT
This is where capital projects get connected to capability. Meet the people specifying, funding, designing and delivering Australia's health estate — architects, planners, capital works teams and facility managers — and build the partnerships that turn ambitious infrastructure plans into built reality.
BUILD WHAT'S NEXT
As models of care evolve, so must the infrastructure supporting them. From hospital-to-home shifts to net-zero, technology-enabled facilities, walk away with practical insight into what the health estate needs to become over the next decade — and what you should be building today.
