We are recognised as experts in our field and have spoken at conferences around the world on procurement options and effective briefing and procurement of healthcare buildings.
Services
We provide both strategic and practical advice to health and social care providers and their partner organisations to improve services and the environments from which they are delivered.
Principles
We strive to contribute to important and challenging projects that seek to enhance the delivery of health and social care services and ultimately improve health outcomes and quality of life.
What we do
KD Health provides health planning services to assist clients to deliver improved patient outcomes and an optimum clinical estate solution. We consider operational requirements based on our extensive knowledge of national and international best practice and seek to introduce “future ready” features to ensure that services and buildings can adapt to accommodate inevitable change.
Appointing high quality and experienced health care planners from KD Health will help you to deliver a world class facility, on time and to budget. Our goal is to work with you to ensure your project benefits from our understanding of currently accepted international and national best practice that is tailored to your local service specific requirements, through a process of engagement with all relevant stakeholders including staff, patients, carers and partner organisations.
Through our work, we have developed good working relationships with many professionals working across the health sector construction market, including contractors, architects, engineers, cost consultants, project managers and equipment specialists. We promote sharing of best practice and knowledge transfer to client teams.

Our Team
Our team are at the forefront of using capital planning projects to improve care models and create better outcomes for patients across the whole of the patient pathway. As well as supporting a wide range of capital projects, including the development of many specialist children’s hospitals, we are recognised as experts in modernising delivery of clinical and supporting services, in stakeholder engagement in the hospital procurement and design development process and in the development of clinical briefing documents.
We have presented on these subjects in London, Edinburgh, Singapore, Boston, Kuala Lumpur and Brisbane and are active members of the Salus Global Knowledge Exchange with access to a worldwide network of contacts with expertise in both healthcare and design.
Our team includes nurses, health service general managers, and health system analysts. This range of backgrounds means we have a great depth of knowledge and experience which has seen us become nationally renowned for our ability to deliver consistent, high quality outputs and contribute fully to successful health facility development projects across the whole care spectrum including primary, community, secondary, tertiary care, mental health and learning disabilities and specialist services.
Added Value
The key benefits to following this approach and including KD Health Planners as part of your project team are that we will help to deliver:
- Credibility with clinicians
- Translation of client’s clinical requirements to a technical design team
- An affordable and deliverable design solution
- Sensitivity to risk
- Introduction of best practice
- Cultural awareness
- Integrated working with your design team
- Access to a wide team of specialists
We have developed a health planning approach that builds on project requirements, recognises accepted best practice, highlights the needs of patients, families, and staff and has an understanding of evidence based design. This allows us to effectively contribute to the briefing and design development process and maximise the benefits to the end client by including innovative solutions that are compliant with the project requirements.
