Abstract
The UK national health sector has been receiving the praise of many countries and it was used as the framework for delivering healthcare internationally. However, in the last few years it has failed to meet the expectations and performance standards as they are perceived by the healthcare stakeholders in a number of fronts. Recently, the UK government has announced major investments in all areas of healthcare delivery from medical and healthcare services to significant changes in the way infrastructure projects are procured, managed and maintained. This paper introduces the vision for delivering the healthcare of the future in relation to the built and human environment. In particular it introduces a major programme, which is currently underway at the Salford Centre for Research and Innovation (SCRI) in the built and human environment, at the University of Salford. In particular the programme is looking to provide a multidimensional consideration of all issues relating to delivering healthcare. Finally, an implementation/change process is introduced on how such changes can take place in a consistent and appropriate manner.
