“The Special Surgical Auxiliary Hospital at the Star and Garter” 1918 John Hodgson Lobley
The Institute of Engineering Technology is responding to a UK government call for evidence to inform research into how the next 40 hospitals should be built in the United Kingdom. The IET is keen to delve into specific elements of hospital design, including:
- How can new hospital design make the most of advancements in technology and medical devices? For example, what is the role of devices and new technology in helping to monitor patients?
- How can new hospitals enable more efficient models of inspection for safety and cleanliness?
- How can air quality in hospitals be improved?
The complete query is linked below:
Call for evidence: Building hospitals in the post-Covid era
Public consultation closes on November 9th. Send comments via email to nmoreira@theiet.org with “Call for evidence: Building hospitals in the post-Covid era” in the subject line.
Insofar as electrotechnologies in next generation US healthcare facilities are concerned — and how US stakeholders learn from leading practice discovery elsewhere in the world — we collaborate with the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. The IEEE is the world’s largest professional engineering society and the IET is its “closest relative” in the United Kingdom.
We limit our interest to university-affiliated healthcare enterprises.
We maintain the IET best practice bibliography on the standing agenda of our Global online meetings. We will also place this consultation on the agenda of our next Health teleconference. See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.
