I was the girl, someone referred to earlier in the chain (from Cambridge
- not Oxford), who gave a lecture on this in Dublin. If you give me your
address I can send the document I prepared for out trust to you and will
try and send out slides via hosp email (you will see a few blank slides
these were videos). The ACEP book is a little out of date as is HBN 22,
particularly the sizes of room, the lack of safety features embedded
into the design etc. Still they are worth having just so you can have
your argument prepared.

It is worth laying your hands on the Healthcare Building Note, HBN22.
This has the UK specifications.

Subject: Designing an emergency department
I wonder if anyone has been involved in the design of a new or
redesigned emergency department recently. Our ED, although only 10
years old, has a number of poor design features, and our trust has
given the green light for us to redesign. We are likely to be able to
increase our departmental footprint.
I understand there is a lot of new ideas out there, but have been
unable to get my hands on the literature yet, although I have ordered a
copy of ACEP book. What is the latest thinking on this area? Should
external architects be brought in. Can anyone share experiences of
their build or rebuild?
