Arup teams have worked on more than 2000 healthcare projects worldwide in both public and private sector. From designing world-class hospital buildings and clinics, our skills in healthcare have extended into expertise ranging from the application of technology - derived from our own research and development - to business, operations and behavioural consultancy.
Healthcare environments are complex. Staff and patients need facilities that are comfortable, safe and clean with well-thought-out designs that promote efficient day-to-day operations using the most advanced equipment. Key to this is a highly engaged and skilled workforce who can lead service improvement.
Ours is a unique perspective: we have an in-depth understanding of the needs and priorities of all the stakeholders in healthcare projects – from patients, trusts, private and public funders, hospital managers and clinical staff, to those involved in special purpose vehicles (SPVs), contractors, medical planners and architects. Key to this is a highly engaged and skilled workforce who can lead service improvement.
We balance the technical, operational and financial dimensions of every project to achieve best patient outcomes for best value. Arup's integrated global design capabilities mean we can offer our services in a coordinated way to ensure hospitals and clinics are run as economically as possible.
Latest innovations include ground-breaking work in arterial blood flows, using computer simulation models to help in the development of techniques to combat and reduce the occurrence of heart disease and strokes.
