NHS UK/Choices

Project: NHS UK/Choices website 2010-17
Europe's largest health information website attracting over 52 million users a month.

Description: Responsible for numerous projects on the NHS Choices website from day to day design updates, week to week and larger 3 month design projects. Working alongside stakeholder, content editors and product owners solving visual design, ui and ux problems across various NHS sites. Projects could vary from image and graphic updates to creating bespoke designs for content projects through to end-to-end design solutions. I was the Lead Designer across many NHS campaigns sites part of the Department of Healths Campaigns team.

The larger site release projects would involve working with a wider team of colleagues from project managers, ux designers, user researchers, developers and technical architects. There were a few redesigns and improvements to the site layout and design over the period I was there. Much more UCD focused on the content in the GDS tranformation years.

I was also part of the NHS Digital Transformation team which deployed the Government Digital Service Methodology and design practise across the transformation phase of the service. Working in small cross functional agile teams across multiple service offerings aligning the health information online services with GDS standards and principles. Solving health information services online for what became NHS UK.
