healthCare
Delivering award-winning facilities for first class healthcare.
From net zero carbon buildings to smart digital solutions and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), we are helping to modernise the UK’s healthcare sector, fit for the future.
Our team of experts works with NHS Trusts and private healthcare providers as well as global pharmaceutical and laboratory organisations across the UK to create high quality buildings and estates while improving operational efficiencies.
Healthcare credentials
In the public sector our customers include Barts NHS Trust, Hampshire Hospitals Foundation NHS Trust, North-West London Integrated Care System and Tees Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust.
In the private sector, we work with global pharmaceutical giants including Glaxo Smithkline and Astra Zeneca.
A partnership between HLM Architects and OFR Consultants.
Fire Compliance Works in Healthcare Estates
We understand the NHS is facing unprecedented challenges across the entire estate including budgetary pressures, a £10bn+ maintenance backlog and the drive to become the world’s first net zero health service by 2040.
Also accelerating up the agenda, particularly post-Grenfell, is the critical issue of fire compliance. The devastating impact of the fire captured the nation’s attention and has been a catalyst for systemic change to ensure better and safer buildings ever since. For example, implementation of the resulting Building Safety Act 2022 will clearly have a significant impact on works carried out across hospital sites moving forward, with additional approval gateways now required prior to work being undertaken.

CUTTING THE NHS’ CARBON FOOTPRINT
Affordable holistic solutions
