Healthcare Insights Live Episode #5: Recording available below.
The significant changes in the way healthcare is delivered over the past few years has led to increased pressures on staff and their working environments. With estates often designed around the patient preference, staff needs can be left uncatered for in healthcare design.
As per point 1 of the NHS 2022-23 Business Plan “it is vital that we continue to support [staff] wellbeing so they can recover and continue to provide the high quality of service patients require”.
Our panel will discuss how healthcare design is changing and what is needed to improve staff wellbeing that as a result will improve healthcare services.
