The Healing Environment
The primary objective was to explore the built environment within community healthcare and, through this, to generate novel design concepts for research. The NHS is investing £1bn in healthcare facilities - given the scale of this investment, it is vital that design of new facilities shifts away from “fit for purpose” toward something more akin to optimal design which maximises the potential of the built environment to enhance patient care. The evidence base for optimal design in community healthcare facilities is sparse. This cluster hopes to add to it.
