TOPIC OUTLINE  

Not many of our PCE UAE members are aware of the work of the Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM founded 1943), one of the 35 EC licensed PEI whose members are welcomed by PCE UAE, far less the ramifications of the Abu Dhabi Corniche Maternity Hospital.  PCE UAE arranged an interesting and well attended briefing and visit to the facility a number of years ago.  Significant developments have taken place since then, not least planned project development which has involved demolition of the former hospital architectural design as well as the implications of re-locating standby electrical power generation plant while ensuring that the hospital continues to operate. Ron Rothwell, arranged the previous presentation and he will be suitably supported by Brian MacFarlane who is well experienced in the design of hospital facilities.  Also, the essential and critical topic of calibration of hospital equipment will be covered.  The need for standards for undertaking this work is reflected in recent press references to deaths resulting from medicine and radiation dosages exceeding norms.

SPEAKER  PROFILE

Ron Rothwell IEng, FIHEEM, MSOE is Director of Works at the Corniche Hospital, Abu Dhabi.and has wide experience in the function, having recently seen the previous facility demolished and the present one due for major development.  Further information on Ron’s qualifications and experience will be provided.

Brian MacFarlane DipArch, FIH, ARCUK, UAE Government Health Facilities Specialist has been based in UAE for a number of years, employed with International Architects and Hospital Specialists on projects including the Khalifa Medical City Hospital.  He has recently been appointed as the Health Facilities Specialist with the UAE Government.
