NHS Website design, development, migration, and support for NHS North East London

CLIENT: NHS North East London

SECTOR: Healthcare

SCOPE: NHS Website design & development | Migration | Maintenance | Hosting

New NHS website design, development, and support were commissioned for NHS North East London. It serves over two million people across eight local authority areas. They ensure the local population is healthy and thriving. Taking into account good levels of mental wellbeing, and good access to high-quality health and care services.

The previous provider for digital services to the NHS NEL Clinical Commissioning was no longer in a position to offer the services required. As a result, they were seeking to procure the services of an NHS web design agency, and UK Government Digital Outcomes 6 framework supplier to continue the support.

NHS NEL was transitioning the name of its statutory organisations. It was moving to an Integrated Care Board / Integrated Care System model. This change required updates to branding and digital domains. Our NHS graphic design skills supported these updates across their digital platforms.

NHS NEL awarded GWCM an NHS design agency contract after a competitive tender bid. The award was based on our WordPress and public sector expertise. The work included migrating two WordPress sites to a new hosting platform. We rebuilt one Sitekit website in WordPress. Finally, we integrated two microsites into the main website.

After the successful migration of each site, GWCM now maintains ongoing support. We support an NHS communications team of over 20 people. We manage website content and keep WordPress and its plugins up to date. We also ensure all parts of the local health system work effectively together.
