The official shortlist for the European Healthcare Design 2022 Awards has been revealed, following a hard-fought competition and intensive judging process.

 

Following last year’s hugely successful live judging format, we’re excited to announce live webinar presentations and judging of seven of the shortlisted categories on SALUS TV, ahead of the announcement of the winners at the closing ceremony of the European Healthcare Design 2022 Congress on 14 June. This offers delegates greater insight into the judging process and provides a valuable learning opportunity in advance of the Congress in June. 

 

Supported by lead sponsor IHP, the Awards celebrate and recognise professional excellence in the design of healthcare environments both in Europe and around the world. They captured the interest of architects, healthcare leaders, academic researchers and innovative solutions providers from all over the globe. The standard of entries received was extremely high, presenting the judges with the demanding task of whittling them down to a final shortlist. One category – Design Research – is outstanding and will be announced soon. 

 

Comprising organisations and project teams in the running for nine awards across primary, community, secondary and tertiary levels of international healthcare provision and delivery, the shortlist is as follows (click on the live judging dates to book your place for each webinar):
