title: Environments designed to heal.
abstract: This article explores projects in dementia and end of life care developed as part of the Enhancing the Healing Environment programme. This nurse-led initiative, devised by charity the King's Fund in 2000, encourages staff to work in partnership with patients to improve the environment in which they deliver care. The projects discussed show how enhancing the environment results in health benefits for patients and improved quality of care.
