The event, held at the Schneider Electric Innovation Hub at the University of Warwick Science Park, brought together estates, operations, and digital services leaders from Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) to explore the latest advances in energy optimisation, asset monitoring, and digital transformation in healthcare settings.
The full-day interactive session featured hands-on demonstrations of Schneider Electric’s innovative technologies, including Building Management Systems (BMS), Connected Services Hub, and SmartSpace Connected Room
Solutions.
Attendees experienced first-hand how these solutions can deliver measurable energy savings, enhance operational resilience, and support sustainability goals across complex healthcare estates.
Highlights from the day included:
* Live analysis of NUH’s BMS health and connected services, showcasing real-time data insights for proactive maintenance and optimisation
* Demonstrations of EcoStruxure Building Advisor and EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert for providing actionable, intelligent insights
The event further strengthened the partnership between Nottingham University
Hospitals NHS Trust and Schneider Electric, following a pilot scheme at NUH’s Linden Lodge last year.
New technologies, including personalised and voice-activated environmental room controls, were trialled and evaluated to enhance care for patients with reduced mobility.
Discussions at the University of Warwick Science Hub further explored the evolving landscape the Trust is facing, and how to continue to improve patient environments, regulatory compliance, digitalisation, and decarbonisation.
“The NHS provides essential services, 24/7.
It can’t afford unplanned maintenance, downtime, or electrical outages. This unique operating environment is one where we thrive,” notes Kas Mohammed, VP of Digital Energy at Schneider Electric UK&I.
“Close collaboration is crucial for success, which is why these events are so important for long-term success in ensuring we deliver smart, sustainable solutions that drive efficiency, resilience, and digitalisation.
“We’re excited to continue this series of events with other partners to keep
driving progress.”
Lisa Yates, Digital Services Senior Commercial Analyst at NUH NHS Trust added: “Our ongoing partnership with Schneider Electric demonstrates leadership in delivering future-ready, patient-centric environments across both greenfield developments and complex, legacy healthcare estates.
“In-person events play a critical role in demonstrating the mechanics of smart building systems and showcasing how tech can transform clinical spaces into adaptive, efficient, and human-centred environments.
“This understanding is integral for our digital teams within the NHS as we work to set a new standard for modern healthcare infrastructure.”
