COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE


functions through common circulation routes and the permeability of internal structures ensures the increased visibility of the scientific elements involved in developing treatments, ensuring patients identify research as a critical factor in successful outcomes. Patients who can see a personal and a physical connection between research and recovery become more willing to involve themselves in clinical trials. Researchers and clinicians need patients to agree to participation in trials, often at the most vulnerable time in their lives, so this sense of personal investment inspired by the collaborative environment is extremely valuable. In addition to informal locations for


interaction, such as circulation routes and cafés, translational research facilitates should also include formal spaces for engagement with patients, their families and other members of the general public. This might include dedicated education spaces, but could also involve exhibition or performance spaces in lobbies or entrance areas and spaces dedicated to outreach work with schools.


Conclusion Translational research must be grounded in more than ideas; it needs to be provided for within the physical research, treatment and care environment.


Visual connectivity is essential in forging relationships and encouraging engagement between research and clinical colleagues.


Architecture has an essential role in progressing the outcome based successes targeted by translational research initiatives and early engagement


with clinical, research, patient and pharmaceutical stakeholders is vital to the development of truly translational buildings and campuses.
