EuHPN 2012 Workshop

The Future for Strategic Planning of Healthcare Infrastructure

22-24 October

Danish Architecture Centre, Copenhagen

This year the annual EuHPN Workshop returned to the theme of strategic planning of healthcare infrastructure.

Thank you to all the speakers, and to all the participants who attended. We had representatives from 14 different countries, including healthcare architects and engineers, health planners, academics working in the field of health infrastructure development, health policy experts, health economists and senior healthcare administrators. We were particularly pleased to welcome speakers from our ‘sister’ organisation, the European Centre for Health Assets and Architecture (ECHAA). The presentations covered a very wide range of topics linked to the strategic planning of healthcare capital assets – at European, national and regional levels, and in terms of masterplanning individual healthcare facilities.

For anyone who is interested to know more about the 2012 EuHPN workshop, the programme is here and information on the speakers is here. The workshop presentations are available to download below. A full report on the workshop is forthcoming.
