UNIVERSITY of Huddersfield lecturer Dr David Swann's groundbreaking design for a super-efficient and super-safe treatment bag for mobile health workers is attracting global praise and interest and put him in line for FOUR major awards. One of them means a date with European royalty and the prospect of a 100,000 Euro prize.
Dr Swann, a subject leader for 3D and Interior Design at the University, carried out a PhD project entitled NHS at Home: Co-designing a 21st Century nursing bag with NHS East Riding of Yorkshire. The aim was to improve the delivery and experience of care that patients receive in non-hospital settings. And the result was a special home treatment bag made from one major moulding with the bag's design optimised to maximise the effectiveness of hand decontamination. The bag is small enough to fit into the boot of a car and can be transformed into a compact treatment space.
The project earned Dr Swann his PhD at the Royal College of Art. But the project is gaining more and more momentum. It has been chosen by Innovation RCA as a design with commercial potential and as a result Dr Swann has been nominated for a James Dyson Fellowship, set up and funded by the famed designer and inventor.
Also, he was a finalist in the Conran Foundation Design Award at the RCA and he won the Helen Hamlyn Design Award for Creativity. On the horizon is the most glittering prize of all - for Dr Swann has been nominated in one of the categories of the globally prestigious Index Design Awards, under the patronage of the Crown Prince of Denmark.
For Dr Swann it means a trip to Copenhagen in September, for a function at the Opera House at which the winners will be announced. The prize for each category winner will be in the order of 100,000 Euros.

He told staff and students: “We really mean business here at the University of Huddersfield and this splendid new building makes the point.
“In the short time that it has been up and running, the new Business School has already proved its worth.
“And of course the Business School was a substantial investment for the university – a £17m investment not only in real estate but in the future of the students, from Britain and overseas, who will pass through these doors, sit in these seminar rooms and lecture theatres, and even act out mini-dramas in the mock court room – an absolutely fascinating feature of the building.”
Sir Patrick added that the new Business School building was part of a wider redevelopment of the campus.
“It is the latest in a sequence of stunningly well-designed and built additions to the university campus,” he said.
“I cannot believe that any town-based university in the country has such an attractive campus as we do, with its inspirational mixture of the new and the old with a ribbon of waterway running through it.”
The Hollywood star believes the Business School is doing a good job for its thousands of students.
Sir Patrick said: “We pride ourselves on the employability of our graduates and one of the ways we achieve this is to foster close links with business and the professions.
“The Business School is a prime example of this and this new building is a wonderful base for its expanding programme of collaborations.
“We have fruitful co-operation with employers including the West Yorkshire Fire Service, the NHS and Royal Mail, not to mention some leading firms in the fields of law and accountancy.
