Good healthcare is about more than the expertise of medical staff, the provision of drugs, and the availability of hospital beds. It also involves less obvious environmental considerations, like the design of facilities in which it takes place.
All other factors being equal, well-designed healthcare facilities are conducive to reduced levels of stress amongst staff, higher standards of care, and most importantly better patient outcomes. For this reason, their designs must comply with a range of regulations pertaining to fire safety, acoustic, energy efficiency and more.
Titled ‘Spaces for Healing – Design Considerations for Walls & Ceilings in Healthcare Environments’, this CPD Live session examines the notion of the well-designed healthcare facility. Focusing on one class of products, walls and ceilings, our speakers outline the ways that product choice can help specifiers meet these regulations.
They explain how, when specified thoughtfully and incorporated into well-designed facilities, walls and ceilings can contribute to positive health outcomes.
