Funded Activity Summary

Designing for early engagement and wellbeing in palliative care. This project aims to generate design guidelines to assist architects in creating better palliative care environments to mitigate the stress associated with end-of-life events for patients, their families and healthcare teams. Facing death, either one’s own or that of a family member, is one of life’s most difficult experiences. Targeted design interventions can encourage early engagement with palliative care, enhance communication and social support in palliative care environments and support staff to deliver optimal patient care. These factors have all been shown to contribute positively to wellbeing. This project will provide benefits for patients, their families and healthcare teams.
