Beyond Modular: From Clinical Need to Healing Environment
VAMED+WWH
How care, architecture and modular delivery come together to create adaptable healthcare facilities.
Capacity pressures, changing patient pathways, workforce challenges and uncertain future demand all call for more than extra space delivered faster. Healthcare environments have to work for the patients who are treated in them and the staff who run them every day.
Hear from a physician and an architect who have devoted their careers to creating spaces which enhance well-being. They follow one patient pathway from clinical requirement to modular facility, and on to delivery.
Start with care: Why clinical, patient and staff needs have to shape the building before any design decision is made.
From pathway to plan: How one patient journey becomes adjacencies, room layouts and a modular configuration.
Designing beyond Day 1: How to build facilities that can expand, adapt and connect to an existing hospital estate.
Hear directly from:
- Dr Kate Gaynor, Chief Medical Officer, VAMED+WWH
- Sondos Abdelmalak, Head of Healthcare Tender Management and Bid Strategy, VAMED+WWH
The session ends with a real-world scenario: an NHS Trust that needs more surgical and diagnostic capacity on a constrained campus, while the hospital stays fully operational.
Are we designing a hospital for opening day, or for the next 20 years?
