Hello! Simon Wilson • @ermlikeyeah
nhs.uk Making a digital platform that works for everybody. Simon
Wilson • @ermlikeyeah
April 2011 GDS is formed to implement the ‘Digital by
Default’ strategy proposed by Martha Lane Fox.
August 2015 nhs.uk team is set up.
A start-up culture Limited budget Limited time Small, multi-discipline team
that had been there and done that

Spring 2017 Launch a beta.

“So, what is it you are doing?”
Make NHS.UK simpler, clearer, better for those who use it.
Transforming NHS Choices to deliver the next generation of digital
services – with relevant, practical, action-focused content and smart signposting to services.
The user is at the heart of NHS.UK. Our work
is research-led and focuses on the needs of patients, carers and front-line staff.
Users 1. Patients. 2. Carers. 3. NHS front line staff.
Organisations are constructs of systems and processes.
Healthcare is a series of human interactions.
People shouldn’t have to join up those interactions for themselves.
None
Vision NHS.UK will connect patients to the information and services
they need.
We’re here to make things simpler, clearer, better – not
just digital.
Human centred Prevention Personalised Continuing care Proactive System centred Late
disease management One-size-fits-all Episodes of care Reactive
Our aims 1. Simple. 2. Relevant. 3. Personal.
What could that look like?
1. Simple Clear and simple content will make information accessible,
regardless of digital skills or health expertise. Exploratory design.
2. Relevant Connecting to relevant digital services will help reduce
pressure on the health and care system. Exploratory design.
3. Personal Personalised information and services will support people to
manage their own health and care. Exploratory design.
Back to the now.The start is a good place to
start.
User experience is about collaboration.
People over processes.
1. Product owner. 2. User researcher. 3. Interaction designer. 4.
Content designer. 5. A developer. 6. Another developer. 7. Delivery manager.
The people we create services for are part of that
team.
We work nimbly. http://transformation.blog.nhs.uk/how-the-nhs-uk-team-does-agile
Work creatively as a team.
1. Learn. 2. Design. 3. Make a thing. 4. Show
the thing to users. 5. Analyse research.
Learn. Design. Make a thing. Show the thing to users.
Analyse findings.
“Continual gradual improvement.” Barack Obama, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfsIZioIpdI
Some things we are on with 1. Symptoms and conditions.
2. Connect patients and carers to NHS services. 3. Register with a GP.

“Where are those three letters with my test results that
I need to take to my hospital appointment today?”
Need 1.1 As someone with condition X, I need to
tell my patient story when I have an appointment, so that the person treating me knows if the treatment is suitable.
Need 1.2 As a healthcare professional, I need to know
a patient’s full history, so that I can give them the best possible treatment at the right time.
None
Knowledge over assumptions.
We can go from a hypothesis to having something to
test in a web browser within a sprint. (If not sooner.)
Prototyping.
In-browser Using Github, node.js, HTML, CSS/SASS, and Heroku Sketching On
paper, with pens, as a team

Simple not simplistic. http://transformation.blog.nhs.uk/simple-not-simplistic-how-we-design-information
We’ll test this with users.
This isn’t about making things just because the designer likes
them. This isn’t about making things just because the boss likes them.
This is about making things that work for the users
of our services.
This is about ego-less design.
Building up patterns. http://transformation.blog.nhs.uk/what-we-think-about-when-we-think-about-patterns
