Improving the patient experience Developing Supportive Design for People with Dementia The King’s Fund’s Enhancing the Healing Environment Programme 2009-2012

This publication describes the work of Developing Supportive Design for People with Dementia – the latest phase of The King’s Fund’s Enhancing the Healing Environment (EHE) programme.

The EHE initiative encourages and enables clinically led multidisciplinary teams to work in partnership with patients and carers to improve services through environmental change. Running since 2000, it has focused on improvements to a range of services, including acute, community and mental heath services, prison health care services, palliative care and bereavement services and, most recently, mental health and community units and general hospitals where people with dementia are cared for.
