Design HOPES

(Healthy Organisations in a Place-based Ecosystem, Scotland)

Led by: Prof. Paul Rodgers, University of Strathclyde + Prof. Mel Woods, University of Dundee

Design HOPES (Healthy Organisation in a Place-based Ecosystem, Scotland) aims to advance societal understanding of design’s impact as well as the opportunities, barriers, behaviour changes and tools needed to transition the health sector to a green approach.

This project will create new opportunities to support both existing services and new design-led health innovations in collaboration with NHS Boards across Scotland, the Scottish Government, patient and public representatives, health and social care partners, the third sector, academia and industry.

Design HOPES aims to be an internationally recognised centre of excellence, promoting and embedding best practice through collaborative design-led thinking and making approaches to build a more equitable and sustainable health and social care system.
