June 16, London UK:
What if a cancer diagnosis didn't mean travelling to multiple locations for appointments, tests, treatment, and recovery?

For many patients, that's what the future of healthcare can look like.

Megan Angus (Angus Connect) and Kyle Basilius (Parkin Architects) share how 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗖 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆. Its integrated model brings specialized cancer care and community hospital services together on a single campus.

The impact extends far beyond co-location.

When cancer care, emergency services, surgery, diagnostics, and inpatient care are connected through shared digital platforms, coordinated workflows, and intelligent systems, patients experience a healthcare journey that is simpler, faster, and more connected. Fewer handoffs. Less travel. Earlier access to care. Greater confidence that the system is working together on their behalf.

The session will examine how integrated care models can:
✅ Create clearer pathways for patients and families navigating complex health journeys
✅ Improve access to specialized care closer to home
✅ Reduce delays and barriers between diagnosis, treatment, and recovery
✅ Support clinicians with coordinated workflows that allow more time for patient care
✅ Enhance system resilience and capacity through smart hospital technologies and data-driven decision-making

The presentation will also explore how sustainability and healthcare outcomes intersect. As one of Canada's first fully electric hospitals, the project demonstrates how low-carbon design and circular economy principles can support healthier, more resilient healthcare environments for generations to come.

 
 

Robots to the Rescue: Streamlining Hospital Operations to Lighten the Load on Staff

Preethi Sethi, Senior Consultant with HH Angus | Angus Connect, will be presenting at the Healthcare Design Conference + Expo (HCD 2025) alongside:

  • Henry Feng, Senior Manager, Engineering & Facilities Management, Providence Health Care
  • Pam McTeague, Global Clinical Operations Consultant (USA)

Also attending from HH Angus – Megan Angus, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Digital Services | Vice President Angus Connect.

As hospitals navigate ongoing staff shortages, this session explores how advanced logistics technologies—including automated guided vehicles (AGVs), mobile robots, and pneumatic systems—can help streamline operations, automate routine tasks, and allow healthcare professionals to focus on what matters most: patient care.

Drawing on real-world lessons from the New St. Paul’s Hospital project, the discussion will highlight how early planning, smart design, and collaboration are key to successfully integrating automation into hospital workflows. The team will also compare design-build-finance (DBF) and public-private partnership (P3) models, sharing strategies for effective change management and staff engagement.

By embracing intelligent automation, healthcare organizations can create more resilient, efficient, and patient-centred environments—lightening the load on staff while improving quality of care.
