Documents
Details
The guidance provides design teams with a set of minimum standards and can also be used by NHS Healthcare Bodies and Boards commissioning new or groups of premises for general medical practices, dental practices or comminity pharmacies.
- Part 1: general medical practices
- Part 2: dental premises
- Part 3: community pharmacy premises
Care should be taken when referring to general NHSScotland and NHS Estates design guidance (e.g. SHPNS & HBNS) and technical guidance (e.g. SHTMS & HTMs) other than this SHPN 36 series, as generally these have been developed for use in the design of large healthcare buildings with inpatient facilities.
