The Health Care Health Design forum will explore the influence architecture can have on the quality, efficiency and community impact of healthcare systems, as well as the role design can play on the entire hospital experience from arrival and treatment to recovery and departure.
Leading practitioners, researchers and professionals from around the globe will consider the evolution of healthcare design while investigating architecture’s relationship with the health challenges of today, including supporting communities through design, reimagining mental health spaces, and how responsive solutions can inform tomorrow’s hospitals.
Three online sessions will be held across three days in October, with each session presenting a unique and fascinating topic. The line-up will alter for each session, offering differing perspectives, insight and case studies reflecting the different facets of healthcare design.
The three distinct themes to be elaborated on include – People-Centred Healthcare: Designing for Community Impact, The Psychology of Care: Designing for Mental Health, and Hospitals of the Future: Designing for Innovative Healthcare.
Each session will comprise one hour of presentations and an hour-long panel discussion. You can choose to view as many sessions you’d like. For each two-hour session, architects can accrue 2 formal CPD points, and Design Institute of Australia members can accrue 3 DIA CPD points.
