NHS Open Space is an award-winning space management solution created by the NHS to make smarter use of healthcare spaces and bring services closer to the communities that need them. It gives estate leaders powerful digital tools to understand how space is being used, manage it effectively, and improve service delivery. For healthcare providers, it makes finding and booking flexible clinical and non-clinical rooms across England simple, so they can offer vital services where and when they’re needed most. Whether managing space or delivering care, NHS Open Space unlocks the full potential of NHS estates, today and for the future.
