Can a brand-new hospital face the same water safety challenges as a 50-year-old one? If we continue to design, build and operate hospitals in the same way, we risk repeating the same problems in new facilities. So what needs to change? Our healthcare planning specialist, Rachelle McDade, will discuss this challenge at the European Healthcare Design conference alongside James Gordon and Mike Weinbren, consultant medical microbiologist; infection control doctor. The session will look at how healthcare organisations can learn from the past while designing safer and more resilient hospitals for the future. Together, they'll explore: — Lessons from previous healthcare projects — What is working today to improve water and wastewater safety — How innovation, technology and better design can help reduce future risks If you’re at European Healthcare Design, join the session to bring yourself up-to-speed with the latest thinking in this area.
