Specialist expertise

Arthritis Care asked us to produce their Gout Nation Report, aimed at healthcare professionals, commissioners and patients.

The report was designed as an interactive PDF document, with integrated navigation, suitable for reading on a tablet.

The Northern General Hospital is a large, complicated site and many visitors experience problems finding their way around.

Involve me is Sheffield CCG’s public engagement programme.

We designed a friendly brand with hand drawn typography and applied it across printed literature, promotional and digital materials.

We also ran adverts across Facebook and Google in order to engage with as many people as possible.

We offer a full range of display solutions, from simple banner stands to complex exhibition systems.

These pull-up stands were produced in Welsh for the Coal Authority.

This Care Certificate Portfolio was produced for the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals FT, for their new support staff to record their training.

The document comprises forms and guidance, with tabbed section dividers, in a custom built ring binder.

The NHS Leadership Academy’s National Recognition Awards are held each year to celebrate the achievements of Academy students from around the country.

We developed the branding and produced the brochures, certificates and support material for this event.

We developed this dosing aid for a new anitibiotic with a particularly complex dosing procedure.

This device uses a ‘parking-meter’ style wheel to take a patient’s weight and daily drug regimen into account to calculate the final dose.

It is in booklet form to include wheels for three different weight ranges, together with prescribing information.

The leaflets include illustrations of each area, detailed maps and public transport information.

The Broomgrove Nursing Home is a Sheffield-based charitable trust, caring for over 40 residents.

We designed and built their website using a content management system to allow them to update pages quickly and easily.
