This year the Building Better Healthcare Awards is being supported by leading architectural practice, P + HS Architects.
The nationally-recognised practice is committed to designing better environments for healthy, sustainable and thriving communities.
Established for more than 30 years, the 60-strong practice operates from Leeds, London and North Yorkshire and is particularly recognised for its specialist work in healthcare, its track record of delivery, and its expertise in sustainable design, modular construction and collaborative working.
Recent works include carried out by the team:
- Houghton Primary Care Centre: A new facility that actively promotes long-term health benefits to the local community, strengthening links between health and wellbeing and offering extensive out-of-hospital services including an inpatient rehabilitation unit. Constructed by Wilmott Dixon , this highly-sustainable development is the first BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ project for the NHS
- The Endeavour Unit: A visionary project working with Interserve and collaboratively designed with NBBJ transforms cancer services in the North East of England at James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough. Innovative construction methods and high-quality finishes eradicate the clinical feel traditionally associated with such facilities and place the patient at the centre of the design
- St Benedict’s Hospice: A new hospice in Sunderland being developed directly for the NHS and due for completion in March 2013. The facility includes generous inpatient accommodation, daycare facilities, and lymphodoema and outpatient’s clinics. Extensive landscaping and work by local artists is used to enhance the patient experience
- Queen Victoria Hospital: A new six operating theatre extension to the highly-specialist hospital in East Grinstead supplements existing theatres, allowing for the provision of specialist surgical procedures. An innovative Fusion Building System is used for the theatre wall construction, which is manufactured off site and craned into position. Extensive use of BIM has encouraged full engagement with the clinical teams allowing focused refinement of the detail design proposals
- Nuffield Hospital Cambridge: The practice is designing a new 44-bed hospital for Nuffield Health in Cambridge. The new facility will focus on best practice and the comfort, dignity and care of the patients, and will deploy the latest digital technology in three operating theatres
As a key Building Better Healthcare Awards event partner, delegates will be able to find out more about the practice at the ceremony at The Brewery in central London on 7 November.
