It goes without saying, the bigger a project, the more complex it is, and hospitals, with their enormous budgets, multi-year timeframes and thousands of stakeholders - whether redeveloping or building new – are by their very nature an expensive, complex and time consuming venture that pose hundreds of challenges. It is these challenges, and the reaction and planning of a project delivery team to them, that ultimately impacts the seamlessness of hospital infrastructure delivery.

With this in mind, ahead of the Health Facilities Design and Development Summit and Australian Healthcare Week 2019 we chat to Paul Lambert, Executive Director, Activation, New Royal Adelaide Project at the Central Adelaide Local Health Network in South Australia.
