Supporting healthcare estates with independent lift consultancy services
ILECS is pleased to be returning to Healthcare Estates, the UK’s leading event for healthcare engineering and estates management professionals, taking place at Manchester Central on 13-14 October 2026.
Once again, our team will be exhibiting across both days, giving healthcare estates and facilities professionals the opportunity to meet our team face to face and discuss the challenges involved in managing lifts within healthcare environments.
Whether you want to discuss the performance and condition of your lifting equipment, an upcoming lift project or your responsibilities under HTM 08-02, our team will be on hand to provide clear, independent advice.
Healthcare Estates 2026
Healthcare Estates bring together thousands of professionals working across NHS estates, facilities, engineering and the wider healthcare supply chain. This year’s event centres around the theme “Mind the Gap”, exploring the challenges facing new and existing healthcare facilities and how the sector can bridge the gap between strategy and delivery.
Taking place over two days, the event combines the IHEEM Conference with a large-scale exhibition, keynote presentation, educational seminars and opportunities to meet specialist suppliers and industry professionals.
For ILECS, it provides an important opportunity to speak directly with the people responsible for managing healthcare estates and understand the lift-related challenges they are facing.
Talk to ILECS about your lifts
Lifts play an essential role in healthcare environments, helping patients, staff, visitors and equipment move safely and efficiently around buildings. Managing these complex assets requires specialist knowledge, particularly where healthcare-specific guidance and engineering standards apply.
As independent lift and escalator consultants, ILECS supports healthcare organisations with professional advice and guidance through the lifecycle of their lifting equipment.
If you’re attending Healthcare Estates 2026, come and meet our experts, Rob Chambers, Dave Marks and Leona Tuckwell at stand D35 to learn how truly independent advice can help you make informed decisions about the management and maintenance of your assets.
Ask us about the Authorising Engineer (Lifts) role
A key focus for our team at Healthcare Estates will once again be our Authorising Engineer (Lifts) service.
ILECS has experienced and trained consultants who can undertake Authorising Engineer role under HTM 08-02, providing healthcare organisations with professional and independent advice and guidance.
If you are responsible for lifts within an NHS Trust or healthcare estate and have questions about the Authorising Engineer role, visit our stand and speak with our team.
We can talk you through the role, discuss your current arrangements and explain how ILECS can support your organisation.
