Placing bespoke design at the centre of patient wellbeing
Project Manager at Maggie's Northampton, Craig Chandler, discusses the dos and don’ts of bespoke design with Dame Laura Lee DBE, Chief Executive of Maggie’s
We are proud to have delivered 10 of Maggie's architecturally ambitious projects, staying true to their vision in creating spaces that offer comfort and reassurance to people with cancer and their loved ones.
These facilities offer free support to those who need them, but are a world away from traditional healthcare spaces.
With our extensive experience in constructing Maggie's centres, we have learnt the best ways to stay true to their vision, with knowledge of what works and what doesn't.
In this piece for Building Better Healthcare, Craig Chandler, Project Manager at Sir Robert McAlpine (pictured, right, during construction of Maggie's Northampton), and Dame Laura Lee DBE, Chief Executive of Maggie’s, talk about the positive impact of good design - something which is now being recognised across the healthcare industry.
During their article, the pair touch upon:
Putting service user need at the heart of design, while adhering to the common standards which are at the forefront of their 27 centres
Encompassing the access to, and views of, nature to improve wellbeing
Staying true to Maggie's strong vision
How the lessons we have learned and centres we have delivered can become a blueprint for the wider healthcare construction industry
