FINAL - JDDK Millmount News Summer Edition 2025 DIGITAL - Flipbook - Page 27
Stuart Franklin, Nicky Hodgson, Gavin Wu, and
Mura Mullan, represented our team at the event,
reinforcing our ongoing commitment to supporting
the hospice sector through thoughtful and effective
design. Since our earliest years as a practice, we
have specialised in hospice and supported living
projects, working with some of the UK’s leading
healthcare providers. Our ethos, “Small changes,
big differences,” is at the heart of our approach,
ensuring that even the smallest design changes
and details contribute to meaningful improvements
in patient care, staff well-being, and overall hospice
functionality. We aim to provide calm and supportive
environments for patients, families, and staff,
ensuring the best possible care experience.
Our work in this sector began with our awardwinning design for St Oswald’s Hospice in the
1980s. Since then, we have completed the design
and construction of over 40 hospice projects
across the UK, earning several architectural awards
These include the Building Better Healthcare Award
for Patient Environment and Best End of Life
Development, a RICS Award for Design Through
Innovation and Sustainability, as well as recognition
from the RIBA and Civic Trust Awards.

The conference was a valuable opportunity to
engage with sector leaders, share insights, and
re昀氀ect on how we can continue to contribute to the
future of hospice care. We remain committed to
applying our experience and expertise to support
the ongoing development of high-quality healthcare
environments.
