The winners of the Building Better Healthcare Awards have now been announced. On Thursday 11 November 2010, over 400 guests gathered at The Brewery, London to celebrate and reward the very best in healthcare building projects, product design and estates and facilities management with one ultimate goal – to improve the patient experience.
