Stephen Wright unpicks the virtues of evidence-based and patient-centred design, and process-flow thinking, and concludes that design for change requires an understanding of where in the hospital system these approaches are best suited, and how and where they can be integrated.
Innovation and the new Alder Hey Children’s Hospital
This presentation observes that hospital design reflects the personality of both the development team and the client organisation. The team at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital has developed a number of new hospitals in the UK, developing a detail-driven approach to hospital design and supporting a vision for buildings to have the balance and personality of Vitruvian Man (striving for excellence in all aspects of form, function and structure).
Innovation, health and social change
A common theme in science fiction is a world in which extraordinary technological advances have advantaged a few, while political instability, incompetence or greed have created a dystopian existence for the majority. This presentation asks: are health systems, in perception or reality, beginning to create such situations?
