Abstract

Designed for a broad audience and covers the subject from its clinical and operational roots through to the design and equipping of accommodation for adult in-patient facilities. This document's key role is to provide advice on the built environment required to implement the planning, construction, commissioning and operation of a new or upgraded facility. Looks to employ innovation in the built environment, advancing the modernisation of diagnosis and treatment and raising the quality of service in order to provide an environment that is genuinely sympathetic to the needs of all users and recognise the broad range of activities present and their significance.
