Workshops & Consultants & Conferences
Our distributed network of experts offers bespoke, interactive and remote sessions across the globe.
Any Where, Any Place, Any Time
Our unique approach focuses on research-informed strategies and develops plans and design principles to effectively improve health and care and healthful design.
Workshop content can be modified to meet specific participant interests including critical changes arising from COVID-19, changing care models, and best-in-class and emerging digital solutions.
Rather than just adding more user groups, we engage with clinical and subject matter experts to translate their needs into programs, plans, designs, and technological solutions to effectively meet goals for timelines, costs and outcomes.
Contact us here to arrange remote or on-site meetings with your leaders and clinical teams.
WORKSHOP EXAMPLES:
Building Blocks for Clinicians
Courses for health professionals
BUILDING BLOCKS FOR CLINICIANS
The Building Blocks for Clinicians course was established in 2017 following the identification of a need to educate and engage clinicians in the design process and thinking. The purpose of the course is to assist clinicians in understanding NHS project and design processes, empowering clinicians to take part and maximise their input.
We offer workshops several times each year for doctors, nurses and allied health professionals, and those involved in planning, developing and designing clinical spaces.
CLINICIAN FOR DESIGN WORKSHOPS:
Since 2017, Clinicians for Design brought together a distinguished panel of clinical and subject matter experts to discuss clinical perspectives on the impact of design on their practice, performance and patient outcomes. The course content may be focused on an individual faculty, topic, or provide an overview of the means and value of engaging clinicians in design.
Our courses are now held via a remotely or in person, with a focus on participant interaction and discussion and content designed to meet participants’ interests.
Faculty and participants include experts in surgery, anesthesiology, intensive and critical care, infectious diseases, imaging, and medical education among others specialties. Attendees include doctors, nurses, therapists, scientists, and hospital leaders to represent challenges and opportunities related to the entire hospital.
