"Great architecture can give us hope, great architecture can heal"
Michael Murphy
In the UK, the government has pledged an impressive £3.7 billion to the hospital building programme through its Health Infrastructure Plan (HIP) 2. Announced in September 2019, HIP is the biggest hospital building programme in a generation, with funding confirmed for 40 new hospitals by 2030. In addition to this, all UK health services are to commit to net zero and to build climate resilience through the COP26 Health Programme.
Given this significant commitment to new hospital construction, how should these hospitals be designed to best serve the needs of patients, staff, and visitors? This whitepaper explores the holistic approach to healthcare design, focusing on the role interior finishes play in shaping patient experiences and contributing to overall wellbeing.
