In this episode of the Brookbanks podcast, Danny Lloyd-Jones and Jack Kenny from Brookbanks join Guy Kippen of Prime Plc to explore the evolving landscape of healthcare development in the UK. Together, they discuss innovative approaches to improving NHS infrastructure and creating better environments for staff and patients.
Healthcare development is more than just building facilities—it’s about delivering positive outcomes for Trusts, staff, and communities. Danny and Guy highlight the benefits of Prime’s development model, which focuses on unlocking land use for NHS Trusts and enabling projects that might otherwise remain stalled.
Guy provides an overview of Prime’s model, which emphasizes collaboration, flexibility, and outcome-oriented design. This approach helps Trusts overcome financial and logistical challenges, ensuring that projects deliver long-term value.
One key theme is the importance of quality amenities for NHS staff. Better facilities contribute to staff wellbeing and retention, which ultimately impacts patient care. Danny and Guy discuss how thoughtful design can transform the working environment for healthcare professionals.
The conversation includes some real-world examples:
Current challenges for Trusts include aging infrastructure, funding constraints, and the complexity of site-wide upgrades. Danny and Guy explore how private and public infrastructure differ, and why a nuanced approach is essential for success.
Healthcare development requires meticulous planning to meet strict regulations. Brookbanks plays a critical role in guiding clients through compliance, ensuring that projects meet both technical and operational standards.

2025 was a year of transformation for Brookbanks. From unlocking land to shaping communities, we’ve worked tirelessly to deliver projects that make a real difference. Here’s a look back at what we achieved and a glimpse of what’s ahead.
In our latest podcast episode, we dive into the critical role of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) developers in meeting the UK Government’s ambitious target of delivering 1.5 million homes by the end of this Parliament term.
Section 106 (S106) agreements play a vital role in shaping sustainable communities by ensuring that developments contribute to essential infrastructure and services. However, recent research highlights a growing challenge: billions of pounds in developer contributions remain unspent by local authorities. At Brookbanks, we believe understanding the purpose of these agreements, and how to recover unspent funds, is critical for developers and stakeholders alike.
