Members of the Design in Mental Health Network continue to step up and make their contribution to improvement and innovation in design and healthcare. Our recent AGM (see page 5) and board strategy-planning day illustrate this. Looking forward to the future, we are able to identify new partnerships and workstreams to build on the progress we are making. We are delighted to welcome Trudi Beswick and Phil Barsby to their new board positions, and to commend Chloe Ogdin for her administration and organisational input over the year.
COVER PICTURE: Pineapple says that its new Ryno bedroom range is ‘revolutionising safety and practicality in challenging environments’. All products are fully water-resistant – thanks to their single-piece polyethylene construction, and are ‘carefully designed to reduce ligature risks’. The range is available in a versatile palette of 10 colours, ‘making it easier to create safe spaces brimming with vitality’.

THE NETWORK | JANUARY 2020
Meanwhile, two significant and esteemed individuals are moving on. We thank Clive Stone and Jeff Bartle for their service as directors and trustees. Both are respected figures in the healthcare design field. In bringing their expertise and enthusiasm to bear, they have advanced the work of DiMHN. The activities of directors, members, and supporters of DIMHN can be seen throughout each issue of The Network. Our editorial team is ready to work with any member wishing to share their news, knowledge, and ideas. The conference group, awards judging team, and event managers, are busy putting together DiMH 2020. It will explore the latest thinking in co-production and integration of care with community, and the benefits and efficiencies this brings in responding directly to individual, community, and population

needs. The international perspective will be addressed, and once again national figures will discuss strategy and policy direction. While we are waiting for the full programme to be announced, our 2020 awards nominations will still be open (at least when this issue is released - please check our publicity for the closing date). Rather than type, scale, or price, the emphasis in each category is on the impact that a project, team, or innovation, has on the people that use or are affected by a service. This enables the widest possible scope for entries from the field of mental health design. Our entry criteria, which can be found online, reflect our developing understanding of how best practice is evolving, and where it can be found. Together with new products, designs, and supporting services on show in our exhibition, the overall event promises to be an inclusive, accessible, and positive approach to the challenges of collaborating for a better environment. Please get in touch with us if you would like to discuss ways of getting further involved with any of our workstreams.

5 News 11 Contrasting settings and their differing impact
Katharine Lazenby has extensive experience as a mental health service-user, having, in her 20s, been admitted to inpatient facilities 10 times over a 13-year period. Over the last 2-3 years particularly she has drawn on her lived experience to help others with mental ill health get better, feel more ‘in control’, and regain their self-confidence and purpose.
16 From ruined barns to residential facility
An award-winning Cardiff-based design consultancy recently successfully redeveloped a number of ruined agricultural barns on the Welsh coast into a set of ‘forever homes’ for adults living with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). IAD was briefed to create a mixture of self-contained and shared houses for 12 residents and associated staff. The scheme won the Project of the Year Refurbishment Award at last May’s 2019 DiMH Awards.
21 Fendor purchase marks start of a new era
It is now almost three years since Crittall, an Essex-based window manufacturer with a history spanning over a century – acquired the trade and assets of Fendor – a specialist designer and manufacturer of high security, ballistic, and bomb-proof fenestration. A look at some of the key developments in the intervening extremely busy period.
27 Historic hospital’s fitting replacement
A director at P+HS Architects describes the architectural, aesthetic, clinical, and service- user-centric elements the practice took into account in creating a new adult and older people’s acute inpatient mental healthcare facility in York. The design and feel of Foss Park required that it should not only ‘not look or feel like a hospital’, but should also echo the heritage of its much-loved eighteenth-century predecessor.
