Standardising ‘intelligent hospital’ design, UK

The healthcare landscape has changed dramatically since the last hospital building programme, and as the NHS embarks on a major New Hospital Programme, it needs a new kind of ‘intelligent hospital’. Our advice to both DHSC and NHSE/I is helping to plan modern hospitals that adopt standardisation, digital enablement and carbon neutrality at the heart of their design philosophy.

When we set out on our journey we wanted to create a firm that was inclusive, had a sense of ownership by everybody and had a wider social purpose - to help plan, develop and deliver better environments, which symbolise the importance of healthcare in supporting and caring for communities.

The Archus team pulled together two business cases in such short timescales, triangulating information between the two cases, and the Trust’s bed situation feels consistently referenced. The two cases sound like we have a strategic problem with a strategic solution. Thank you!

Archus already had a full grasp of the project and a clear understanding of the issues that might arise through the various application stages. We did not appreciate the sheer complexity and volume of work that was put into this project on our behalf which was essential for its successful outcome.

Archus is running a very tight ship and ensuring the engagement process is progressing nicely during this difficult time. The consultative approach has been very well received by the stakeholders. I feel very comfortable that we are moving in the right direction with your support behind the scenes.

David Callaway, Head of Strategic Estates Development, Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare NHS Trust

As a community based organisation it can be challenging to engage a distributed workforce with differing quality of estate and operational requirements. Archus approached this with a real hands-on ethos, adequately representing our operational teams' views, and articulating these at board meetings.
