renal office space
facilities to be provided in group room
positioning of mental health suite lends itself to stigma & lack of integration with primary care and long term conditions
technical issues from clinicians about size of rooms and staff flow through building
range of issues regarding disability access – height of sockets, turning space for wheel chair users, size of lifts, dementia friendly design
pram and wheelchair internal parking space
Security of children's’ centre
organisation of voluntary sector and refreshment space including storage

24. May Workshops Discussions
Discussions at the May workshops included more detail about:
How the space in the renal dialysis unit was to be configured
How the diagnostics unit would work – patient flow and desk space
No window required to X-ray room. There could be a window to ultrasound but this would need to have plasterboard lining internally.
How the podiatry space will work, and will podiatrists be able to access gym space (yes)
What facilities the long term conditions services would be able to access
The amount of cycle parking
How people might use mobility scooters, and where these might be parked
Storage, toilets and cleaning spaces
Consider clinical wash hand basins in the mental health rooms so that they could be used for a wider range of activities.
