Edinburgh Medical School 300

Members of the Design HOPES team at Edinburgh Futures Institute

It was brilliant to be able to join the University of Edinburgh Medical School 300 year celebrations recently, with a showcase of our Sustainable Scrubs and Reusable Theatre Caps projects, alongside work of students of the university, who have contributed to a new set of scrubs for medical students.

It was a great chance to talk to a range of people from academic, healthcare and design backgrounds, including the next generation of healthcare professionals, about the innovative and collaborative research work we are doing in support of NHS Scotland transition to (and beyond) Net Zero. Many congratulations to Edinburgh Medical School on this amazing event and significant landmark!

Design HOPES is a collaborative design-led research initiative, comprising five Scottish Universities (University of Strathclyde, University of Dundee, Heriot Watt University, Abertay University, and the University of Edinburgh), NHS Scotland, the third sector, and design organisations.

This project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) as part of the Future Observatory GTE Hub Programme at the Design Museum [grant number AH/Y00373X/1].
