Organisations across the health and care sector are increasingly working on modernising their services to deliver quicker, more accessible and readily available support to patients, carers and healthcare professionals. 

Made Tech and Mace and Menter recently worked with the team at NHS Gloucestershire to digitalise access to their mental health services for children and young people. 

On this webinar, Rich Byrne, Lead Engineer at Made Tech will moderate a conversation where Liam Miller, Senior Engineer at Made Tech and Kat Thackray, Lead Consultant at Mace and Menter will go through the process and approach to user research during the project, as well as how the cloud platform was created to support a vital health service.

We’ll be covering:

  • The need for the service
  • Why reusability was important
  • How user research informed the service
  • How we used AWS and cloud technologies to make sure the service was reliable and open source

How this session will run:

  • Free to attend!
  • Hosted and recorded via Zoom Webinar
  • There’ll be time for questions and answers at the end
  • We’ll ask for feedback after the event

We are hosting this webinar with Mace & Menter.
