This thinktank will examine the tensions across patient-centered design, the practical needs of healthcare providers, such as efficient workflows, infection control, and staff safety and the funding and role of the state government. We’ll unpack these points in detail with the help of seasoned clinical and capital project executives to work out how best we can strike a balance across these cohorts.

• Understanding the differing motivations driving hospital projects across the Health Ministry, the Department of Health, the local health services and the engineering/architecture teams 
• Getting creative with budgets, PPPs and partnerships to deliver infra that the community needs, 
• Finding creative design and planning solutions that address clinical, patient and health system needs
• Co-design governance - setting clear expectations around its value and influence on hospital planning and design
• Assessing and measuring benefits of planned facilities post delivery
