Upcoming Workshops
2019 EuHPN Workshop
Join us in Basel, Switzerland, 18-20 September
Three days of discussion, debate and interactive co-design on the theme
Getting It Right First Time, For Patients.
Getting It Right First Time, For Patients
A challenge for leadership, learning and integrated project delivery. We all know that healthcare facilities are complex and expensive to plan, design, build and maintain.
Infrastructure projects need input from a huge range of people – managers, designers, engineers, clinicians, technicians, estates professionals and patients – if they are going to be a success, and no one wants to finish a project only to find that it doesn’t meet the needs of staff or patients, or both.
questions we will be exploring
So how do we ‘get it right, first time, for patients? How do we ensure that new build or rebuilt or reconfigured facilities meet the original brief in terms of utility, design and sustainable affordability? How can we do our very best to make our healthcare built environment the best place possible for patients?
An opportunity to engage with individuals & organisations, representative of every aspect of health infrastructure development.
Participants typically represent a wide variety of professional backgrounds: health policy makers, healthcare architects and engineers, health system planners, clinical/medical professionals, capital investment experts, health infrastructure academic researchers, and many others.
The annual EuHPN workshop is structured to give our member organisations an opportunity to share examples of best practice and to learn from each other's experiences. But the workshop is also an important opportunity for participants to hear from outside our immediate network and from a range of professionals who bring different perspectives.
Walkerproject
This year we will experiment with a highly interactive format where participants will co-create an infrastructure design or a patient experience together with healthcare professionals. This is thanks to the support of Walkerproject, one of Europe’s leading consultancies for innovation in healthcare. Walkerproject works closely with healthcare professionals to improve patient experience, quality of care and team collaboration.
Our sponsors
In 2019 we are delighted to welcome Ramboll Spearhead Healthcare as our main corporate sponsor. Ramboll is a leading engineering, design and consultancy company founded in Denmark in 1945, which is now present in the Nordic countries, UK, North America, Continental Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pacific.

Launchlabs belongs to Gundeldinger Feld, a listed building in a former industrial factory close to the main station Basel.
The factory was founded in 1844 with the production of ribbon weaving machines for the silk ribbon manufacturers of the region. Later, machines were also manufactured for sawing, drilling, pressing and pumping. In 1945, after the end of World War II, the factory employed up to 500 workers. At the beginning of the sixties, the alliance was reached with the Sulzer Group. n 1999, the surprising decision to abandon the production site in Basel falls. The newly founded Gundeldinger Feld Immobilien AG bought the property and in the year 2000 handed over responsibility for the conversion of the area of Kantensprung AG.
Launchlabs spaces are prototypes for new technologies and connect people in unconventional ways during events, workshops and corporate seminars. The event hall, with 240 m2, offers countless possibilities thanks to the flexible furniture and equipment combined with the industrial charm.
