The judges commented:
“This is a lovely building and works extremely well on this historic site – the birthplace of the NHS.
“They have done a great job in preserving the building and the amphitheatre design in the entrance space is really good for relaxation and collaboration. It also makes terrific use of the sloping site.
“The building has been designed for better communication and better connections. The pharmacy, in particular, has been designed in such a way that pharmacists can interact with GPs and it really drives the ‘pharmacy first’ approach to health services, taking the pressure off primary care services. The building, by its very design, enables services to link together very efficiently and promotes collaboration. It’s not something you see every day and it really demonstrates there is value in investing in the healthcare system in the right way.”
