Health

‘Adapting the care experience, from preparation to recovery, without replacing clinical assessment or treatment.’

A bright waiting area in a health centre, with wood and plants: an older woman with a walking frame talks with her daughter, a nurse crouches to speak with her at eye level, a boy with headphones waits calmly.

Waiting, noise, light and uncertainty are part of the care experience. Preparing the environment makes it more predictable for patients, companions and staff.

Who uses the space

Patients

Before, during and after an appointment or stay.

Companions

Families and carers.

Staff

Reception, nursing, support and operations.

The pathway, applied to the sector

Four steps to being prepared.

After joining, which is everyone’s first step.

  1. Train. Training for frontline teams to observe, ask and offer options. Find out more
  2. Equip. NURA Kit in waiting areas and at admission points. Find out more
  3. Prepare. Information before arrival, clear routes and adjustments to light, sound and waiting. Find out more
  4. Certify. Certification of the whole experience, with no therapeutic claims. Find out more

The NURA Kit and signage support the experience; they are not clinical interventions.

What the organisation gains

Visibility

Public recognition as a member organisation and, later, as a certified place.

Measurable impact

Indicators of autonomy, participation and improvements carried into the shared space.

Speed

No building work: the programme works with the spaces that already exist.
