Senior healthcare leaders in both public and private sectors share a common focus: creating patient-centric facilities that enhance the patient journey when care is needed most. Peter Duffy explains that delivering these experiences starts with addressing complex challenges - from navigating a myriad of diverse standards and regulations to ensuring every facility is aligned with patient needs. Overcoming these hurdles requires a collaborative approach. By uniting the strengths of clients, design teams, and contractors, solutions are created that not only meet stringent compliance requirements but also foster environments that inspire and support patients. We listen, collaborate, and deliver together. Better is our blueprint.
