Pinnegar Hayward Design, 2024 BBH Award winner said: “Receiving an award recognising the project and the team’s efforts adds significantly to that sense of achievement. We are very pleased that a bereavement facility such as Woodland House is getting the attention it deserves”.
The 2024 BBH Awards were not just a celebration of achievement but also a reminder of the collective commitment to building a better healthcare system. The Building Better Healthcare team as well as the 2024 judging panel were thrilled to see another year of innovation and exceptional progress in healthcare.
