This one-day executive masterclass led by Professor Jeremy Myerson, the RCA’s Helen Hamlyn Professor of Design, explores an alternative patient-centred approach to healthcare that draws on inclusive design principles. It covers four principles with specific relevance to the complex demands of healthcare today: Simple and Intuitive Use, Perceptible Information, Tolerance for Error, and Size and Space for Approach and Use – using case studies from The Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design and the HELIX Centre, including a redesign of the Emergency Ambulance and innovations to reduce medical error on surgical wards.
