Our knowledgeshare pillar is responsible for curating content under three key themes, helping us focus more clearly on the challenges of healthcare design and shape future thinking in the field.

Our current themes are:

  • MIND: Addressing mental health issues across the healthcare estate, well being and mindful design;
  • MEND: How do we fix the NHS? Exploring new ways to deliver healthcare services, through technology (AI), the ‘left shift’ of healthcare services from acute to community, and a focus on sustainable re-use and re-invention;
  • MATTER: Digging into the detail of design, from materials to manufacture, standards and sustainability.

The knowledgeshare pillar is led by Alice Green, Caroline Mulholland and Sophie Crocker.
