London industrial designers Priestmangoode propose hospital wards modelled on health spas and beds like those in first class airline cabins in a new manifesto for health service design, released today.

The report, written by Priestmangoode and called The Health Manifesto, looks at how better design could help produce better, more efficient and more cost-effective environments for patient recovery.

One of the ideas is the Recovery Lounge, a ward where people can recover from minor operations (shown here) that borrows ideas from the hotel and airline industries.
