Webinar – The Journey Towards Single Inpatient Rooms

(https://health-spaces.com/news/single-patient-rooms/).

Single patient rooms webinar | 28th July 10.30am – 11.30am

What are the benefits of a single room hospital? Should hospitals provide all patients with single rooms? What are the implications for single patient rooms under the New Hospital Programme (NHP) guidance? How can the design of multi-bed bays be evolved to improve patient and staff experience?

Research has shown that single rooms will increase patients’ privacy, dignity and confidentiality, in addition to giving patients more control over their immediate environment and consequently helping to aid the healing process. Yet the journey taken in designing new hospital ward layouts – balancing cost, space and a Trust’s bespoke requirements – can be challenging.

Join Jaime Bishop, Feet Director and Co-Chair of Architects for Health, Warren Edwards, Project Director at Health Spaces, Paula Miller, Chief Nursing Projects Officer (New Hospital Team) and Diane Goodwin, Operations Director for the New Hospital Programme, as the team highlights the journey taken by James Paget University Hospital as the Trust develops a new 28 bedded decant ward.
