RESTRUCTURING
‘It is important that we have planning models to help frame our multi-discipline approach to the building stock.’
for future flexibility – but just as importantly, it has to increase the performance efficiency and effectiveness of the clinical staff. A well executed new design or refurbishment has the added benefit of enhancing the recruitment and retention of the best staff by creating improved external and internal environments. This is an important subject given that there is already a shortage of qualified clinical staff with aggressive competition for this rare commodity.
Conclusion There is no doubt that the planning and delivery of the future healthcare estate is an extremely complex subject. Necessarily, it has to deal with the strategic blue sky approach to
future clinical and estate reconfiguration, as well as with the multi-faceted changes that are being imposed by everything from new technology to novel gene therapies. Across all of this, we need to overlay the more practical requirements of site master planning, building by building analysis and project delivery. The jump from strategic thinking to
practical planning and delivery is never easy. However, with the changing healthcare environment we must think holistically to provide the necessary cost-effective clinical facilities that future generations can rely on. It is a multi-disciplinary approach where
technological and clinical scientists, engineers, medical practitioners, healthcare planners, architects, cost consultants and
constructors will be the agents of radical change.
It is a significant challenge, but the prize
will be to future-proof our healthcare systems to enable effective economic delivery for future generations of patients. To do otherwise is unacceptable!
