Join our conversation about design and global challenges
We collaborated with the University of Oxford and Barts NHS Trust to co-design a suite of guidance resources designed to help patients and clinicians conduct video consultations.
This project began just before the Covid-19 pandemic, just in time for us to run our two co-design workshops in person. The resources are now in use by NHS England and NHS Improvement, nhs.uk and beyond.
”It’s great to have these resources… I know they will be valuable. Very keen to share them far and wide.”
The resources are free for anyone to use. Select from individual resources below or download combined zip file:

To request amendments or translations catered to specific clinical needs, please email admin@design-science.org.uk
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.

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.
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.
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.
We translated the resources and video into eight non-English languages including a BSL video (below).
Please contact us if you would like to receive any of the following versions of the downloadable resources. Links below will take you to the video translations.

The resources are designed to accommodate clinical needs. In the example below we repurposed the A4 downloadable resources for Ireland’s NHS equivalent: the Health Service Executive (HSE).

We helped share the resources via social media, e.g. pic.twitter.com/wqvnbk8ssh, to raise awareness and encouraging them to be repurposed.
