Community Engagement Team: Revolutionizing Healthcare Infrastructure
Community 1st is a leading healthcare infrastructure company that has been designing, building, financing and operating premises for the NHS for over a decade. With over £400m worth of projects completed as part of partnerships, Community 1st has established itself as a trusted partner in the healthcare industry.
At the heart of Community 1st's success is its community engagement team. This team is responsible for ensuring that all stakeholders are involved in the design and delivery of healthcare infrastructure projects. By engaging with local communities, patients, staff and other stakeholders, Community 1st ensures that its projects meet their needs and expectations.
The community engagement team works closely with local authorities to identify areas where new healthcare facilities are needed. They then engage with local communities to understand their specific needs and requirements. This includes holding public consultations to gather feedback on proposed designs and layouts.
Once the design phase is complete, the community engagement team continues to work closely with stakeholders throughout the construction process. They ensure that any disruption caused by construction work is minimized and that patients continue to receive high-quality care during this time.
Community 1st's commitment to community engagement doesn't end once a project is completed. The company continues to work closely with local communities to ensure that its facilities meet their ongoing needs. This includes providing ongoing support for staff training and development as well as working with patient groups to improve services.
One example of Community 1st's commitment to community engagement can be seen in its recent project at St Mary's Hospital in London. The company worked closely with staff at St Mary's Hospital as well as local residents' associations during the design phase of this project. As a result, they were able to create a state-of-the-art facility that meets both patient needs and those of staff members.
Another example can be seen in Community 1st's partnership with NHS Property Services (NHSPS) on the redevelopment of the former St Luke's Hospital site in Bradford. The community engagement team worked closely with local residents to ensure that the new facility met their needs and expectations. This included holding public consultations and working with patient groups to identify areas where improvements could be made.
Community 1st's commitment to community engagement has not gone unnoticed. The company has won numerous awards for its work in this area, including the HealthInvestor Awards' Community Engagement Award in 2019.
In conclusion, Community 1st's community engagement team is at the heart of its success as a healthcare infrastructure company. By engaging with local communities, patients, staff and other stakeholders throughout the design, construction and ongoing operation of its facilities, Community 1st ensures that its projects meet their needs and expectations. This commitment to community engagement has earned Community 1st a reputation as a trusted partner in the healthcare industry and will continue to drive its success in the years ahead.
