As an architect, Richard Nugent worked in private practice in the commercial sector and in local government before

There he worked closely with colleagues from the Department of Health on a range of estate management training initiatives aimed at promoting strategic estates planning. In 1987 he moved to the West Midlands as Estates and Property manager, and in 1990 was appointed director of Estates for the West Midlands Regional Health Authority (WMRHA).

Peter Wearmouth. Phil Nedin. Richard Nugent.
Following the dissolution of Regional Health Authorities in 1995, he took a position with The Lewington Partnership, a firm of solicitors specialising in providing advice to healthcare organisations. In 1997 he set up his own architectural consultancy practice – Healthcare Estates Consultancy Services (HECS) – providing advice on healthcare estate management and major building projects. He was responsible for the successful delivery of several major projects, including acting as project director for the transfer of the Birmingham Children’s Hospital from its old site in Ladywood to a redeveloped site at Steelhouse Lane, and as advisor
Following retirement, he set up his own technical consultancy, where part of his work sees him act as technical consultant to Arup. He also lectures at Cardiff University, where he has recently developed a 12-week module for final year
engineering students in Construction Management. His 12-week healthcare design module at the University – into which he still has an input – is now in its 12th year, and over 1,000 students have passed through the module. As he points out, ‘there cannot be many university courses in the world with a module in multi-disciplinary healthcare design’. He continues to be involved in lecturing and tutoring at the Welsh School of Architecture, which enables him to discuss engineering design aspects with the architects of the future. He views the development of the next generation of designers as his main professional focus in his retirement.
Need for a project director register examined
The ADBE Technical Platform is undertaking a review to establish whether there is a ‘need’ or appetite for accredited project directors within NHS-managed health and social care organisations, and, if so, to follow up by developing a process for setting up an IHEEM-managed Accreditation Register for Project Directors.
Platform chair, Dr Manju Patel, said: “The purpose of the register would be to provide IHEEM members and NHS Trusts/
Boards with access to IHEEM-accredited project directors that are appropriately academically and professionally qualified, and/or have the necessary pedigree of experience in directing developments across the range of sizes and values. On this basis, on behalf of the Platform Members, I am requesting that members who are willing to support this initiative provide IHEEM’s head office (c/o Clair Wilkins) with their contact details.” To find out more, email Dr Patel at
