NHS YORKSHIRE AND THE HUMBER STRATEGIC HEALTH AUTHORITY
Public website and staff intranet
nww.yorksandhumber.nhs.uk (viewable by NHS staff only)
The Specialists were delighted when selected, in a tender process, to design and build a content-managed public and staff intranet for NHS Yorkshire and the Humber Strategic Health Authority.
The striking yet simple website designs adhered to the new brand guidelines created by The Specialists very own Tim Moat.
Developed using our easy-to-use bespoke content management system, the site includes functions such as a news facility and archive, searchable contacts directory, a series of staff forums, a secure area, events calendar and an enhanced search facility.
The public site and the staff inatranet are both integrated which allows functions to be shared which reduces resource time as bothe sites can be posted to through one facility.
The Specialists also spent a day with the SHA's website admin team providing on-site training for staff.
The Specialists won an Award of Excellence in the Best Website/Intranet/E-Zine in the CiB (Communicators in Business) Awards 2008 for the Northern regions for the NHS Yorkshire and Humber websites.
NHS Yorkshire and the Humber was set up by the Government in July 2006 to act as the regional body for the NHS. They are one of ten strategic health authorities (SHAs) for England set up on this date. The SHA was formed from the merger of the three former SHAs of West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, North and East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire.
"The Specialists have designed our new staff website and new public website and we would like to thank them for their hard work, ideas and enthusiasm in delivering two excellent sites which are user friendly, simple to manage and have been well received by staff."
