This week we're at European Healthcare Design. Today, our healthcare planning specialist, Rachelle McDade, is joining Manjula Meda, Chair of the Healthcare Infection Society, and James Gordon from P+HS Architects for a fireside chat on healthcare design and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). They'll debate a critical question: how can we create healthcare environments that are safer for patients and staff? Taking insights from the Built Environment Infection Prevention Initiative (BEIPI), the discussion will cover: — How closer collaboration across healthcare, design and construction can help prevent infections in high-risk settings. — How we can raise awareness of AMR and improve education across the industry. — Practical ways to improve how healthcare infrastructure is planned, designed and delivered, from better briefing and procurement, to using emerging technologies such as AI. If you're attending #EHD2025, this is a must-catch session.
