The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inadequacies of our healthcare building stock. The government’s £3.7 billion hospital building plan offers a real opportunity for change. What are the opportunities for architects? And how do we design and adapt healthcare buildings to meet the needs of current and future generations?

Speakers and topics include:

Sophie​ Crocker, Architect and Health Researcher, HKS shares approaches to healthcare design and the latest research to inform the design and adaptation of healthcare buildings.

Christopher Shaw, Founder, Medical Architecture on developing strategic evidence-based approaches to designing healthcare buildings and the benefits of longer-term investment and planning decisions.

Charlotte Ruben, Architect and Partner, White Arkitekter on the importance of adaptable and motivating environments for the benefit of staff and patients during a prolonged pandemic and the way daylight, views, art and interior design make a difference to a sustainable care environment over time.
