Description
By exploring the design process this book looks at the relationship between the architectural and medical professions to see how the next
wave of Government health policies can be best provided for. The aim is to raise the quality of health buildings in the primary care
sector.
Greater flexibility will be required as the medical profession moves towards a pro-active attitude to Healthy Living Centres
rather than the traditional reactive treatment to cure disease.
This is a hands-on 'how to do it' guide to satisfy changing policy objectives,
offering an up to date methodology to encourage a holistic approach to health care buildings which will be of interest to both architectural
and medical professionals.
Audience
Architects - students and professionals, primary health care groups, Health Authorities, Regional Health Authorities and practice managers.
