Understand: healthcare infrastructure, consultancy & strategy
In the Understand stage, we focus on gathering a detailed understanding of all the different facets of your project.
The objective for this stage is to clarify the strategic direction of the project and establish a strategic brief.
Specialists in healthcare projects, your healthcare consultants will work on the very early stages of identifying and articulating key challenges, analysing patient and nursing needs, as well as long term estate and wider service delivery infrastructure.
Strategic advisory services include healthcare planning, health economics, clinical modelling, stakeholder workshops and clinical interviews to understand the priorities of all parties, from NHSE to the Trust, from clinicians to executives.
At this stage we’ll undertake demand and capacity modelling and wider healthcare strategy workflows as required.
Strategic advisory
Create: specialists in healthcare architecture
The Create stage translates the strategic brief into a tangible design.
Working closely with your stakeholders, healthcare designers combine architecture, interior design and detailed clinical planning to create a lasting solution that fulfils your individual and specific requirements.
Our healthcare design disciplines are combined with thorough stakeholder understanding and insight into the clinical requirement and patient needs, and wider estate strategy including deliverable master planning, ensuring intelligent design choices are made along the journey.
Healthcare designers will take the project from concept design, developed design and into detailed design.
The outcome of the Create stage is to have a fully designed scheme ready to build.

Deliver: turning strategy into reality
The Deliver stage turns strategy into a reality, with de-risked and seamless delivery of your project.
Turning strategy into delivery with our integrated project delivery capabilities, we remove the weight of navigating multifaceted design challenges, tight deadlines and complex governance. Underpinning your entire project is our ‘delivery discipline’, seamlessly knitting together and moving forward the strategic, design and construction phases of your project.
Overseeing the delivery of your project, we ensure healthcare construction specialists are involved in the design development so current cost knowledge and buildability intelligently informs the process. Design and pre-construction teams also remain woven into the construction and post-construction phases to ensure delivery of all outcomes set out by the brief.

Modern Methods of Construction (MMC)
The UK Government has been increasingly encouraging and incentivising the use of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) for healthcare building projects across the public sector, including for new hospital builds. So be it a small space, a large space, a staff space or treatment space for patients, Health Spaces has a unique approach to MMC.
Our strategic supply chain partnerships give us a wide range of MMC types for different healthcare building needs that include:
- Traditional volumetric modular buildings
- System-build wall panels
- Light gauge steel frame (LGSF)
- Passivehaus timber frame modular building
A key advantage of MMC in healthcare construction services is the rapid nature of the build – reduced timescales, costs as well as no disruption at site.

Modular builds
Historically, the timescales involved with a traditional hospital construction company design process, approval stage and on-site construction all add up to lengthy delays and disruption to services. As a leading hospital construction company, we understand that rapid deployment of clinical and patient spaces is required to urgently increase patient capacity and improve patient experience.
As a healthcare infrastructure, estates and design consultancy, with integrated project delivery capabilities, we provide an end-to-end project delivery service. This includes the ability to offer modular hospital construction solutions through assured supply chain partners, which include bespoke pre-constructed modules ready for rapid deployment.
We also offer a full catalogue of repeatable rooms that can be delivered as modules for rapid healthcare and hospital construction.
Modular buildings
Traditional construction in healthcare
We understand that healthcare construction projects can require traditional construction methods, and this often continues to be the go-to method for many healthcare construction projects across the UK and internationally.
This is often the case for the re-purposing of hospital space, or for hospital refurbishment projects.
Traditional healthcare construction
Repeatable rooms: clinical spaces
We are continually collaborating with our Clinical Review Panel and healthcare design experts globally to develop and improve healthcare designs for clinical spaces.
Building on our modular hospital construction expertise, combining tried and tested Health Building Notes, clinical experience and new technologies has enabled us to offer a catalogue of repeatable room designs that enable any healthcare provider to deliver world-class standards of patient care.
Designed within single modules, this innovation provides a rapid solution that can be incorporated into both new and existing healthcare spaces.
Repeatable rooms
Repurposing & refurbishing hospitals
Many NHS estates teams struggle with ageing hospital estate that is no longer compliant or fit for purpose. Our end-to-end project delivery services include the refurbishment of health spaces into healthcare facilities that are fit for purpose.

Supporting Health on the High Street initiatives
Our Health on the High Street model offers a very simple solution to solving two key issues facing society by providing capacity to help alleviate hospital pressures whilst also encouraging footfall back to ailing high streets. Health Spaces offer NHS Trusts an operating lease of fully fitted, fully compliant, multi-purpose clinical spaces in high street locations throughout the UK. This is a fast track and cost-effective way of up-scaling patient capacity, and is proving a popular way of tackling growing RTT waiting times in elective care.
The model is also an excellent solution for accommodating Community Diagnostic Hubs in the region.
