William Wang

William is an architect and a healthcare researcher. He has developed mental health patient facilities in the NHS and contributed to the development of new CQC guidelines. He was shortlisted for the Design in Mental Health Network award and his work has been exhibited at the European Healthcare Design Conference.

He spent ten years of his architectural career in the cultural and commercial sectors, before completing a Masters of Research degree in Healthcare and Design in 2019, focusing on mental health care. For him, the most rewarding aspects of research are the personal and in-depth engagements with patients. As a design professional, researcher and service user, William has a grasp of the challenges in healthcare from a range of perspectives and is keen to see improvements in the industry which are patient centred.
