Other comments from the firm

Imagescape Design Studios Health Care Studio understands the changing health care scene. The increasing dominance of technology for both delivery of health care, dissemination of information and the remote monitoring of patients in their home. The impact of increased life expectancy will have on health care coupled with the increased expectations for quality of life enhancement.

We understand the success of a health care facility relies on getting the flows right - patient flows, movement of staff and supplies. To achieve this we explore options and map the flows onto each scenario - identify points of congestion and excessive travel. We then refine these to achieve the right balance.

Stephen Phillips brings over twenty five years of experience with the health and aged care sectors to the Health Care Studio. Stephen was the development manager with one of Australia's largest non-profit aged care providers. Stephen has contributed to the design of numerous nursing homes and retirement villages. Currently he is managing the design of a specialist day surgery centre and private hospital.
