But that’s not all….
We demonstrate how we can harness the value of data through our Medical Equipment Planning poster in the library. And we show how data and technology can enhance efficient, patient centred design through virtual mock-ups and Facilities Management software.
The European Healthcare Design Congress & Exhibition 2018 is on from 11th to 13th June at Royal College of Physicians, London, UK
We look forward to seeing you there!
Come and talk to us about the future at booth 14.

Meet David Symons
David leads WSP’s Future Ready programme about seeing the future more clearly and designing both for this future as well for the needs of today.. . Future Ready in healthcare means designing flexible spaces which can be adapted to suit advances in medical technology, expanded to meet the needs of growing and ageing populations and easily modified to provide comfortable environments in which patients can recover and staff can work despite the challenges of climate change. Future Ready enables WSP to deliver better value for our clients and places us at the heart of creating long term legacy for future healthcare.
If you were a piece of medical equipment what would you be?
A microscope – helping see the smallest things which can have huge impact
If you had a super power what would it be?
With my Future Ready role, it has to be time travel
What job would you choose to do in a hospital?
I use physiotherapists so much from various sporting injuries I’d save a fortune being one.
Meet Moa Pauhlson
What’s exciting about healthcare and why are you passionate about it?
Healthcare is one of the most important aspects of modern society. To be able to contribute and influence the environment to assist patients’ healing and recovery gives my practice as a lighting designer greater meaning. Because of how it impacts peoples’ lives I feel very passionate about healthcare and how lighting design can have a positive impact.
How do you see the future in your specialist field of lighting design?
Lighting affects how we feel, our levels of alertness and calm. Through carefully considered lighting design we can create optimum conditions for a patient’s health and recovery, as well as benefitting staff by enabling them to do their best work, thus increasing their job satisfaction. The future in healthcare for lighting design is in understanding and leveraging how it is used in various treatments, therapies and healing.
If you were a piece of medical equipment what would you be?
A future flicker-free adjustable luminaire.
If you had a super power what would it be?
If I had a super power, I would speak 100 different languages so that I could communicate the importance of good lighting design all over the world.
What job would you choose to do in a hospital?
With so many important job roles in healthcare it’s hard to choose. If I worked in a hospital, I would like to work with children in some way. They are our future.
