European Healthcare Design Podcast: Health, equity and the future of care

In this second episode of the EHD Podcast, recorded live at the European Healthcare Design 2025 Congress, we continue our exploration of the bold ideas reshaping the way we think about health and healthcare - from health inequalities to architecture, community, and the spaces that help us heal and grow.

You’ll hear from:

• Professor Sir Michael Marmot, Director of the UCL Institute of Health Equity - whose keynote speech at EHD called for urgent action on health equity
  
• Ab Rogers, Creative Director of Ab Rogers Design, and Dr Ash Ranpura, Neurologist and Co-founder of DRU+, who invite us to reimagine healthcare spaces as places of empowerment, joy, and belonging, not just treatment
• Voices from across the Congress answering: “In the future, hospitals will be...?” – including Stephanie Costelloe (BVN), Dr Tom Best (King’s College Hospital), Scott Leslie (Art in Site), and Richard Darch (Archus)

Whether you’re a designer, clinician, policymaker or changemaker, this episode is a powerful reminder that health is about more than medicine. It’s about the systems, spaces and stories that shape our lives.

Hosted by doctor-turned-designer Rolake Ojo, this second episode continues to explore the congress theme 'Beyond the hospital: Form, function, and the future health ecosystem', through rich conversations with the three leading voices in health and design listed below.
