How do you shape a future-ready healthcare space that’s truly patient-focused?

Our host, associate director Victoria Shepherdson and healthcare lead for the south is joined by director and national healthcare lead Gareth Banks and Development Director Ewan Forsyth at Prime Plc. The three sit down for a dynamic conversation on the future of healthcare spaces.

A central theme is patient-focused design: how we create healthcare environments that not only improve outcomes but reduce stress, support staff wellbeing and feel truly embedded in local communities.

The discussion explores the growing shift toward community-based care, such as Community Diagnostic Centres and high street health hubs, and the benefits they bring in terms of accessibility, early diagnosis and regeneration of local areas.

They also highlight the importance of design and commercial flexibility, ensuring healthcare facilities can adapt to evolving clinical needs, technologies and funding models.

CDC - Community Diagnostic Centre

CT Scanner – Computed Tomography Scanner

EV – Electric Vehicle
