Future Landscapes of Health and Care
About
Hospital Futures I Peri-Hospital Futures I Post-Hospital FuturesMonday 22nd June, 1-4pm, Health Innovation Campus, A14 Innovation Lab
We are building a platform to imagine the future landscapes of health and care with creativity, ambition, and freedom. What will happen if we create a sustained space to think openly, daringly and collaboratively about tomorrow’s health/care environments?
What will tomorrow’s hospitals look like? How will we understand ‘health’ in the future? Who or what will oversee the organising or carrying out of health/care? Is ‘the hospital’ eternal or can alternative forms of health architectures be imagined? Is future healthcare a building? Is future healthcare technology? Is future healthcare patients and doctors and diagnoses?
The NHS 10 Year Plan outlines numerous transformations in how it imagines the future of healthcare provision, detailing three major shifts: hospital to community; analogue to digital; and sickness to prevention. What can and do these shifts mean? What is a ‘hospital’ and what is a ‘community’ and what kinds of landscape do these operate in? What can we do as a University and as an interdisciplinary platform do to offer space, time, and energy to think innovatively, daringly, and ambitiously about the future landscapes of health and care, both in the region and beyond?
Whether you are in medicine, design, architecture, languages, computing, philosophy, history, marketing, or beyond, if you are interested in future health/care landscapes and worlds, come and join us on 22nd June 2026 at the Health Innovation Campus to help us continue creating this platform.
The session will include:
• Information on the Future Landscapes of Health and Care (FLoHC) platform
• Discussion and co-design of further funding bids to support the platform (including a proposed AHRC Catalyst Grant)
• Chances for networking with colleagues from across LU and external partners
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Organised by Dr Benjamin Dalton (School of Global Affairs, b.dalton@lancaster.ac.uk), Dr Michael Lambert (Medical School, m.h.lambert@lancaster.ac.uk), and Dr Fanny Chabrol (CEPED, IRD, Paris, fanny.chabrol@ird.fr).
