NORTHAMPTONSHIRE HEALTHCARE NHS

CLIENT

The Northamptonshire Podiatry Department of the Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (NHFT) treat over 60,000 patients each year, working across over 20 sites, residential homes, as well as visiting housebound patients throughout Northamptonshire.

As part of the multidisciplinary team, the service works closely with the Musculoskeletal Service and the Northamptonshire Diabetes Multidisciplinary Team (NDMT) increasing the number of patients treated outside of the core podiatry department to a substantially greater number.

ASSESS

The Northamptonshire Podiatry Department of the Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust wanted a digital way to communicate important healthcare messages to patients at one of their core podiatry treatment centres.

The primary purpose was to continue to raise awareness of health tips, general podiatry department information, patient case studies and provide patients with a focal point when visiting the treatment centre.
