title: Building design links to infection control.
abstract: The extent to which a hospital's built environment, ward and clinical layout, and the clinical procedures deployed, are directly linked to hospital-acquired infection rates, and how existing experience and studies can be best harnessed when designing new healthcare facilities, are examined by Graeme Gidney, an associate director at Buro Happold.
