Finally, when specifying wall linings for wall protection purposes, consideration should be given to their fire performance. It is worth noting that for any healthcare
facility aiming to achieve BREEAM accreditation, ensuring that the design incorporates adequate protection of exposed elements, in order to minimise the frequency of replacements and optimise
material use, in line with Mat 05, is key. Designing for durability and resilience requirements may result in additional points. Specification of products with Environmental Product Declarations is also encouraged.
Wayfinding and accessibility As part of interior design, the needs of patients and visitors with mobility issues, mental health issues, or sight impediments, must also be accommodated.
