From Blueprints to Harbour Views: A Professional Development Day at RPA

Friday, 14 November | Royal Prince Alfred Hospital & Sydney Harbour

Healthcare infrastructure is one of the most complex and high-stakes areas of construction and engineering. The delivery of advanced medical technology, such as MRI and CT scanners, X-ray equipment, and digital operating rooms, requires precision planning, seamless collaboration, and uncompromising attention to safety and compliance.

On Friday, 14 November, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital will host an IHEA Professional Development Day designed specifically for those involved in planning, designing, and delivering major medical infrastructure projects. This intensive program will bring together the full spectrum of professionals required to deliver these projects successfully — from builders, electricians, and transport operators to engineers and specialist consultants. Together, they will provide a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the processes, challenges, and solutions involved in moving, installing, and commissioning these complex systems.

Program Highlights

• Delivering Major Medical Infrastructure: Explore the requirements, risks, and strategies for delivering high-value assets such as MRI, CT, and X-ray machines into active hospital environments.

• Power and Building Integration: Understand the infrastructure, building modifications, and power requirements needed to ensure functionality, safety, and long-term reliability.

• Designing a Digital Operating Room: A deep dive into how modern operating rooms are planned and built, with insights into the digital technologies that are transforming surgical environments.
