Hopkins Hour: Personalised Enriched Environments in Inpatient Rehabilitation Wards

Click here to join this Hopkins Hour online event

Join us for our next Hopkins Hour on 20 May, 12.30–1.30pm, showcasing research from Program 2: Enabling Technologies and Environments.

 

Hosted by Hopkins Research Fellow Dr Michael Norwood and members of the research team: Cherelle Cowl, Susan Jones, Kaitlyn Spalding, Michelle Porter and Joshua Jacob.

This session brings together ideas and experiences that explore how inpatient rehabilitation wards can be thoughtfully enriched through personalised environments and environmental supports that support recovery, agency, and wellbeing. Drawing on past, current, and emerging research, it touches on how art, digital, virtual, and interactive technologies can shape spaces that are more engaging, meaningful, and responsive to individual needs. The enriched environments this hour discusses create a sense of connection to self, others, places, and cultures, with the emphasis is on the important relationship between people, place, and practice. The data and solutions presented in this session will highlight how interdisciplinary approaches can gently and simply transform everyday ward environments and open up new possibilities for future innovation in rehabilitation settings.

The event will be held online via Microsoft Live and is free and accessible, with no registration required.
