This document summarizes Steve Shon's perspective on using a design policy and design statement for the redevelopment of Mental Health Services at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. It discusses developing a design statement through stakeholder workshops to identify objectives for patients, staff, and visitors. Examples of objectives for patients included an initial impression that is welcoming and therapeutic, intuitive wayfinding, and private garden areas. The design statement is then used as a tool for briefing, communication, and project promotion, and to guide the redevelopment phases at Royal Edinburgh Hospital.
