Live from EHD 2025: Health, Equity and the Future of Care

In this episode of the EHD Podcast, recorded at the European Healthcare Design 2025 Congress, we explore bold ideas reshaping how we think about health and healthcare - from justice and inequality to architecture, community, and the spaces that help us heal.

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 across the congress answering the question: “In the future, hospitals will be…?" Featuring 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.
