How to find Department of Health Design and Technical Guidance: Department of Health Design and Technical Guidance is available free to NHS employees via a login process through the NHS Estates Knowledge & Information Portal (KIP).
This website has been developed to provide a UK-wide source of knowledge, examples of good practice and expertise in the provision of the healthcare environment. The K&IP is a searchable source of information on the many aspects of the healthcare environment.
Anyone can apply to and gain access to KIP – see the application window on the above page – but non-NHS staff cannot access the whole body of NHS guidance, only executive summaries and some reports. Non-NHS/ private sector users – first check updates and the current publications list: go to the web address above and click on "publications list" which downloads a current index in .pdf format.
Individual documents can be accessed either by purchasing from The Stationery Office (TSO) or through one of the two subscription web-based providers; Barbour Index or IHS Technical Indexes: TSO Online Bookshop IHS Barbour Index
