Cornwall Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust takes a forward step in accessibility and engagement
The recent launch of Cornwall Partnerships NHS Trust's redesigned website is a testament to the power of collaboration and thoughtful design. By adopting a new look inspired by the Nightingale theme-already a standard across other Cornwall NHS sites-the Trust has made a bold step towards improving usability, accessibility, and engagement for its users.
Reflecting on the project, Leanne Baker from Cornwall NHS Trust expressed her satisfaction: Thanks for the update, that's great. I can see the site is live. Happy to see the accessibility score is so high, thank you! This feedback highlights one of the key successes of the redesign: a focus on accessibility, ensuring that the website is inclusive and easy to navigate for all users.
This redesign was driven by a clear vision to enhance user experience across multiple dimensions:
- Engagement: The updated design, aligned with the Nightingale theme, ensures a consistent and visually appealing experience that keeps users engaged. Clean layouts and intuitive navigation make the site more inviting and easier to use.
- Usability: Thoughtful restructuring of content means users can find what they need quickly and efficiently, reducing frustration and improving overall satisfaction.
- Accessibility: A strong emphasis on accessibility ensures that the site meets modern standards, making it usable for individuals with a wide range of needs. A high accessibility score reflects the commitment to inclusivity.
- Information Architecture: By streamlining the site's structure, the redesign has made it easier for users to locate information and for administrators to manage content effectively.
The VerseOne Front-end Development Team worked closely with Cornwall Partnerships NHS Trust to bring their vision to life, ensuring that the new design was not only functional but also tailored to their specific requirements. The collaborative effort and meticulous planning resulted in a seamless launch ahead of Christmas, with the accompanying intranet redesign scheduled to go live in January.
Redesigning a website is about more than just aesthetics-it's an opportunity to rethink how users interact with an organisation online. For Cornwall Partnerships NHS Trust, this redesign ensures that their digital presence matches their commitment to delivering high-quality care. As we look ahead to the intranet launch in January, it's clear that these enhancements will have a lasting positive impact on both staff and users.
