MMC & Traditional Construction in Healthcare Builds

The UK Government has been increasingly encouraging and incentivising the use of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) for building projects across the public sector. But how do you choose which construction method to use for your healthcare building project? What are the advantages and disadvantages to MMC and traditional healthcare construction? And how does it affect the wider strategy for your Trust? What further support needs to come from the MMC industry to help the NHS?

These are just some of the questions that were addressed in our round-the-table discussion hosted by Jaime Bishop, healthcare architect and co-chair of Architects for Health, Eric Fehily, Director of Estates & Facilities at Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust, Chris Hodgson, Director of Estates & Facilities at East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, and Andrew Rolf, specialist in healthcare, passive design, MMC and the reuse of existing buildings.

Please note: some of the projects discussed in this webinar are not projects by Health Spaces. Conquest Hospital’s modular staff welfare unit was a project delivered by Health Spaces – see our case study page for details.
