The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inadequacies of our healthcare building stock. The government’s £3.7 billion hospital building plan offers a real opportunity for change. What are the opportunities for architects? And how do we design and adapt healthcare buildings to meet the needs of current and future generations?

Watch this AT webinar, in partnership with Schüco, as we explore the key issues:

Lessons from the pandemic: what have we learnt about the capacity of our healthcare building stock?
Rethinking typologies – what are the implications of drive-through services, remote working, telemedicine, mobile healthcare units and digital consultation for the future of healthcare design?
Holistic well-being and healthcare design – the critical role of daylight, fresh air and landscape
The role of modular construction in designing buildings that are flexible, cost effective and efficient
New products, materials and systems for healthcare buildings

Counting the cost: how can we use limited financial resources in the best way for society?
