Healthcare is about people first. Every hospital or clinic we help design is more than a building – it’s a place where lives are changed. Our role is to listen, collaborate, advise and bring ideas to life that make care better for patients and families, and easier for the teams who deliver it.

How can healthcare engineering improve patient care?

Healthcare engineering combines strategic planning, technology and design to create environments focused on patient comfort, safety, and wellbeing. Integrating advanced technologies enables hospitals and clinics to provide the latest medical treatments and personalized care, in response to evolving healthcare needs.  

What are healthcare advisory services?

Healthcare advisory services help public and private healthcare providers, policymakers, and investors achieve their desired outcomes and support far-reaching system change, from strategic transformation to implementation. These services cover all stages of the healthcare lifecycle and include funding, delivery, operation and decommissioning of healthcare facilities. Examples of WSP’s work include assessing, planning and optimizing new and existing healthcare facilities; integrating innovative clinical, digital, and sustainability solutions; and navigating challenges such as energy transition, decarbonization, digital transformation, and the evolving needs of different populations. 

How does healthcare engineering and advisory services support decarbonization and sustainability?

Healthcare facilities are among the world’s most carbon-intensive buildings. We embed decarbonization and sustainability in our engineering and advice to help clients reduce their embodied and operational carbon. Our services include sustainable building engineering, energy management and efficiency, building certifications, life cycle assessments, climate risk planning and actions, refurbishment and retrofitting, asset management, and ecology, biodiversity and ecosystem services.

How do you help healthcare facilities become resilient and future ready?

Resilient healthcare facilities are designed to be highly efficient, digitally enabled and flexible to meet changing healthcare needs, evolving clinical treatments and personalized care. WSP’s engineers and advisors understand how these buildings operate and support clinical models. Our Future Ready® approach helps us to anticipate long-term challenges and opportunities impacting healthcare, from socioeconomic drivers to climate change, and enables clients to embed adaptability and resilience across their buildings, infrastructure and systems.

How can you make the best out of upgrading existing healthcare facilities?

Upgrading existing healthcare facilities enables healthcare providers to meet changing requirements, extend the life of their assets and improve operational efficiency. Refurbishment and retrofit work can also be more carbon efficient than building new. Hospitals are often at the heart of communities and upgrading them maintains and enhances this connection. We help our clients to revitalize their buildings and healthcare sites by modernizing building services, integrating innovative clinical, digital and nature-based solutions, and enhancing the experience for patients and staff.

What are the benefits of working with a multidisciplinary healthcare engineering team?

Multidisciplinary healthcare engineering teams combine technical expertise, creative ingenuity, and strategic insight to deliver high-performing, people-centric healthcare environments. This collaborative approach enables holistic decision-making, better coordination and systems integration, and ultimately drives operational efficiency and improved patient outcomes. WSP’s multidisciplinary services span structural and building services engineering, digital solutions, advisory, sustainability consultancy, and specialist services like lab planning, medical equipment planning and logistics, heliport design and transportation planning.
