Video animation and guidance resources for NHS patients and clinicians to help them do online consultations

We have developed a suite of guidance resources with The University of Oxford and Barts NHS Trust to help patients and clinicians with conducting video consultations.

No items found.

The resources are used by NHS England and NHS Improvement and nhs.uk

The project was funded by The Health Foundation, National Institute for Health Research, Higher Education Innovation Fund and Wellcome.

‘It’s great to have these resources… I know they will be valuable. Very keen to share them far and wide.’– Rachel Harris, Communications and Engagement Manager NHS England and NHS Improvement

Overview

The aim of these resources is to support those who are not familiar with video technology, to ensure that generic resources are relevant to any technology or clinical setting, and to make these freely available to anyone who needs them. It is serendipity that we developed this guidance at a time when it is needed more than ever.

User-led design

All resources were informed by two co-design research workshops we ran in London, which enabled us to connect with patients and the public and involve them in our design process.

Visually led

Working with illustrator Ellis Nadler, we developed a visually-led style to work across a range of outputs including a short animated video, downloadable guidelines, FAQs, printed materials and online interactive communications.

GP and clinician guidelines

We worked with Trish Greenhalgh, Professor of Primary Care Health Sciences at Oxford University, to adapt our designs as information for GPs, available as A4 PDF download and slideshow presentation formats.

Printed formats

The content is adaptable to any format, including printed leaflets and posters

Translations

We translated the resources and video into eight non-English languages including a BSL video (below).
