Following the AHDC Annual General Meeting, this webinar will showcase two award-winning Australian healthcare design projects recognised at the European Healthcare Design (EHD) Awards: the Design for Health and Life Sciences Award, won by Billard Leece Partnership (BLP), and the Design Research for Healthcare Award, won by Hassell.

The presenters will share a high-level reflection on their award-winning projects, exploring their journey, impact and significance, and what this international recognition means for their organisations and the broader Australian healthcare design community.
