Tracks: Clinical Perspectives

Cleveland Clinic is expanding its international presence by developing a new 185-bed hospital in the heart of London. Working with HKS Architects, PLP Architecture, and numerous subject matter experts over the past three years, the organization designed one of the first new private hospitals in the U.K. in more than 40 years. Hear how the team collaborated “across the pond” to bring the No. 2 ranked U.S. hospital system into the U.K. and set up shop next door to Buckingham Palace. See how “two nations divided by a common language” navigated through the CQC Regulations and FGI Guidelines and overcame the confusion of understanding the difference between elevators and lifts and between lifts and hoists!
