NHS trusts manage some of the most complex estates in the country. Every unnecessary site visit disrupts clinical services. Every missing record slows compliance. AIM gives estate teams a digital foundation that reduces footfall, strengthens evidence, and keeps patient care at the centre.
Healthcare estates carry unique pressure. Clinical services cannot stop for surveying. Compliance demands are constant. And the people who know the buildings best are retiring.
Every site visit to a ward, theatre, or outpatient area means coordinating around patient schedules, infection control protocols, and clinical staff. Most visits could be avoided entirely.
NHS backlog maintenance reached £11.6bn in 2022/23 ERIC data, with £2.4bn classified as high or significant risk. Without accurate estate data, prioritisation is guesswork.
HTM compliance records, CQC evidence, PAM self-assessments, and 6 Facets data sit in separate systems. When regulators ask, teams scramble to compile what should already be in one place.
A typical NHS trust manages hundreds of buildings across multiple sites. Small estates teams cannot physically visit every space that needs attention. Digital access changes the equation.
Every contractor entering a clinical environment is a potential infection control concern. Pre-briefing contractors remotely, so they arrive prepared, reduces unnecessary footfall and time on site.
Long-serving estates managers carry decades of building knowledge. When they leave, that knowledge goes with them. A digital record of the estate preserves it permanently.
Digital models of clinical spaces, compliance trails, remote access for every team member and contractor. Built for estates teams who need answers without always being on site.
Navigable, measurable 360° digital environments of wards, theatres, plant rooms, and corridors. Inspect conditions, take measurements, and plan works without entering the space.
Timestamped, location-specific evidence for HTM disciplines (water, electrical, ventilation, medical gas), CQC Regulation 15 readiness, and PAM self-assessment. Every observation is tied to an exact spatial location.
Share digital models with contractors before they arrive. They see the space, understand the layout, measure what they need. Fewer people on site, less time in clinical areas, better-prepared work.
Navigate every building in your trust from one platform. Compare conditions across sites. Prioritise investment where it matters most, backed by visual, spatial evidence.
Plan refurbishments without entering the ward. Capture once, then let design teams, contractors, and project managers work from the digital model. Clinical services continue uninterrupted.
Support your 6 Facets methodology with digital evidence. Physical condition, statutory compliance, space utilisation, functional suitability, quality, and environmental management, all grounded in navigable records.
CQC enforcement of Regulation 15 (Premises and Equipment) is increasing. HTM compliance across water (04-01), electrical (06-01), ventilation (03-01), and medical gas (02-01) demands consistent, auditable evidence. The NHS Premises Assurance Model requires annual self-assessment against defined criteria.
Most trusts compile compliance evidence from multiple systems when regulators visit. AIM creates a single, timestamped record of your estate that serves every compliance requirement. Digital models provide visual proof of conditions. Observations are pinned to exact locations. Audit trails are built automatically as teams work.
For PAM self-assessment, your digital estate becomes the evidence base. Instead of describing conditions in a spreadsheet, you reference navigable digital models that any assessor can verify independently.
An estates officer walks the ward with a 360° camera. The full space is captured in the time it takes to walk through, typically during a quiet period. One visit, one capture, one record.
The contractor accesses the digital model from their office. They navigate the space, take measurements, understand the layout, and prepare their scope of work. They arrive on site ready to execute, not to survey.
The same digital record that informed the refurbishment supports your mandatory ERIC return. Condition data, spatial measurements, and tagged observations reduce the manual effort of compiling estate returns.
NHS trusts must reach net zero for direct emissions by 2040. Decarbonisation planning requires accurate data about building fabric, insulation, glazing, and building services. Digital models provide the spatial evidence base for retrofit assessments, without commissioning separate surveys for every building.
360° camera, app open, walk the space. Capture as quick as it takes to walk around. Flag points of interest for defects, compliance items, or areas of concern as you go.
Upload from your phone. AI and computer vision analyse every image: surfaces, geometry, dimensions. Digital environment built automatically in our UK cloud.
Estates teams, contractors, compliance officers, project managers. Everyone navigates, measures, and annotates the same model. No duplication. No unnecessary site visits.
