Construction and healthcare are in a period of rapid change and transformation. Embracing digitisation and modern methods of construction is key to delivering healthcare infrastructure that meets the needs of today and the future,
writes Andy Macfarlane of Curtins.
For more than a decade, both the healthcare and construction sectors have been on parallel tracks of embracing rapid transformational change, driven by the digitisation of the processes for how we design, construct and engage with our healthcare environments.
The global pandemic has accelerated these changes, resetting public awareness of how we value our individual and collective physical and mental health.

The rollout of the country’s coronavirus vaccination programme appears to be off to a good start.
Nearly 4 million people have had their first jab – including the over-80s, care home residents and NHS and social care staff.
From this week the vaccine will start to be offered to two more priority groups where supply and capacity allows: the over-70s and the ‘extremely clinically vulnerable’.
For Ilise Gunder and her partner Allan Pearson – both of whom fall within the latter category – it can’t come soon enough.
The couple, from Bamford in Rochdale, have been ‘literally housebound’ since they began shielding last March and are desperate to get their lives back.
