Effectively managing the linen function, at a time when so many economic, environmental and human issues are at stake, is a challenge.
An event to meet today's challenges
In the healthcare sector, the emergence of GSCs, GIEs and GIPs* has not been without impact on the sector, leading to a concentration of production resources on large linen processing units and new human resources issues (implementation of more intensive management processes, extended operating hours, etc.). The business is changing, requiring a new managerial approach if it is to remain attractive.
In the field, the processes and organisations implemented over the last two decades have clearly confirmed their effectiveness and relevance. The RABC** approach, good practices in clothing management and linen circulation as well as technological and managerial innovations have all played their part.
But other significant changes have emerged in recent years among professionals in the health and social care sectors, and in industrial hospital laundries, particularly in terms of energy savings, control of discharges of hazardous substances into water (RSDE), well-being in the workplace, etc. These still need to be explored further, and supported by an industry that is concerned and guided by a sense of service.
As time goes by, the changes in the linen function continue to grow. At the heart of the 2023 edition, visitors will discover themed round-tables and exhibitors able to respond to the challenges and priorities of the healthcare and health and social care sectors and their players: Texcare France will be the event not to be missed, whether it's for modernising infrastructures, reviewing heat production and recovery methods to reduce energy consumption, using less water, working with eco-responsible laundry products, equipping to be more efficient, rethinking supplies and buying more responsibly, or finding out how to recycle used textiles through appropriate channels.
* GSCs (health cooperation group), EIG (economic interest grouping) and GIP (public interest grouping)
** RABC: Part of the EN NF 14065 standard, the RABC method (Risk Analysis Biocontamination Control) is a method for analysing the risks of microbiological contamination of all textiles processed in laundries. This standard applies to a wide range of establishments, including hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, spas, agri-food companies, and ESATs (Work Assistance Establishments) and EAs (handicapped adapted companies) that process the linen of the above-mentioned companies.
