This helped to develop a sense of ownership in the different clinical groups. Having staff members around the table with the architects and designers was important.
The staff members would then cascade the meeting ideas to their teams, and report feedback. So for those who wanted to be involved, they could get a say in it.
And the departments that work particularly well are the ones that had a big input from the clinicians. We highlight the processes behind our built environment as well as the finished result, to grow our collective understanding of good design practice. More of our case studies are available here.

The low-rise design with pitched roofs breaks up the mass of the building, allowing it to sit harmoniously within its surroundings. The design also creates 17 courtyards and gardens which function as places of rest and healing as well as provide views from inside. The emphasis on outdoor spaces is based on scientific research that shows a connection between natural elements and positive health outcomes, including lower stress levels, reduced blood pressure, the need for patients to take less medication, and even-faster healing times.
The hospital is person-centred, considering staff as well as patients and promoting an uplifting, positive experience for all who use the building. This is achieved through an emphasis on natural daylight and intuitive wayfinding throughout the hospital.
