Design HOPES

Healthy Organisations in a Place-based Ecosystem, Scotland

Prof. Paul Rodgers, University of Strathclyde and Prof. Mel Woods, University of Dundee

Design HOPES (Healthy Organisations in a Place-based Ecosystem, Scotland) is a transdisciplinary project that exploits the potential of design-led thinking and making to innovate and tackle multifaceted health delivery challenges to meet urgent net zero goals for a sustainable health and social care system.

This project is creating 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. It is a collaboration between the University of Strathclyde, University of Dundee, Heriot-Watt University, Abertay University and the University of Edinburgh, and is building links locally, nationally and internationally to address the shared concerns of the health of people, and the health of our planet.
