2. Create welcoming spaces to support recovery and wellbeing

Hospitals and clinics are often stressful environments – and the design of the space itself can contribute to the experiences patients and staff have within its walls.

As NHS estates have grown and changed over the decades, many have become complex to navigate, lack access to fresh air and natural light, have limited accessibility features and are difficult to heat and cool reliably.

But great hospital design can have a positive impact on patient health and staff wellbeing. Whether you’re building a new facility or looking for ways to optimise existing ones, our experts offer end-to-end support that guides you through design and implementation.

Here’s what to focus on…

We’ll help you build spaces that are welcoming, practical and fit for purpose, focusing on key factors such as:

Climate control, including heating and air conditioning
Lighting and acoustics for clinical spaces and areas for staff and patients
Accessibility measures, including ramps and lifts
External landscaping and indoor planting
Clear and simple signage

What would you change about your estate?

More state-of-the-art facilities
Facilities that offer more space and flexibility
Easier navigation and clearer signage
More accessibility features
A more visually appealing environment
More comfortable spaces for patients, visitors and staff

Nutrition

We take a flexible and innovative approach to patient catering, which changes the focus from traditional mealtimes to a patient dining experience. Instead of a ‘one size fits all’ offering, our expert catering and dietetics team provide a range of menus to suit every nutritional, medical or cultural need.

We create bespoke menus suitable for patients' needs, to meet dietary requirements and aid recovery and wellbeing
Our tasty patient catering is crafted with expert nutritional guidance
We utilise an innovative electronic ordering platform to provide patients with all nutritional and allergen information at point of ordering

Additionally, many hospitals and clinics benefit from our retail catering, where visitors and staff can refuel and refresh. These dining spaces offer a balanced range of popular dishes and can include the benefit of high street coffee and food chain outlets.
