Driving efficiency via a 'different' approach.

Paul Boocock, director of estates and facilities management at the South Devon Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, explains how he and Jonathan Gilmore, a director at not-for-profit healthcare sector improvement organisation, BIRCH, and the Collaborative Working Centre, with wide-ranging experience in the construction and EFM sectors, have worked with the Trust's estates and facilities management team to bring a "leaner" approach to its activities, in the process improving efficiencies and reducing waste at the Torbay Hospital.
