title: Making the right noise with hospital design.
abstract: Susan Witterick, director of Acoustics and Air Quality at Capita Symonds, examines the important role of acoustics in healthcare facility design in the "Age of Austerity", warning that, despite being a key factor in creating an optimal hospital environment for patients, staff, and visitors, it is too often still viewed as "a poor cousin at the design team table".
