A fresh look for London Pathways Partnership: Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust
The launch of the new microsite for the London Pathways Partnership (LPP) marks a significant milestone for Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. This project has been a true collaboration, overcoming challenges to deliver a website that not only looks great but also provides enhanced functionality for its users.
The project was to build an advanced microsite for the LLP, which contains features and functionality specifically designed to meet the needs of wardens, managers, and other professionals working in forensic and prison services. Its modernised features ensure the website serves as a valuable tool for supporting mental health care and addressing personality disorders.
Key functionality includes:
- A comprehensive knowledge base: Empowering users with easy access to vital information.
- Enhanced engagement tools: Incorporating animations, videos, and user feedback mechanisms to maintain interest and deliver content effectively.
- A secure managers' area: Providing a safe space for leadership resources.
- An eLearning portal: Facilitating professional development and training.
The site stands as an example of what a well-executed digital platform can achieve, and the project followed our Total Engagement Programme and tried and tested project methodologies. This meant that workshops and discovery session were conducted to gain user feedback around desired features and functionality, and the user experience was carefully constructed to ensure ease of use and to establish a logic information architecture.
For NHS organisations, a new website isn't just about aesthetics-it's about accessibility, functionality, and impact. A modern look and feel not only improves the user experience but also reflects the organisation's commitment to progress and innovation. By ensuring key resources are easier to find and engaging to use, the new site supports LPP's vital mission to enhance mental health care in the forensic and prison systems.
This project's success highlights the power of teamwork and determination. To all who contributed: well done! And for those eager for more, keep an eye out for upcoming project go-lives.
The future is bright-and increasingly digital-for NHS services like Oxleas.
Stewart and team, thank you for all of your help.
