The NHS Blackpool Children and Families Services website was designed and built as a solution a number of problems faced by the NHS. Each year the NHS produce thousands of leaflets, booklets and information sheets for patients and the general public, which they needed a way of archiving.
The Children and Families services website stores these documents in a growing database and allows users to view them online or download them to print at home. Not only does this benefit the NHS in the reduction of printing and distribution costs, but it makes the information more accessible to the computer literate. In recognition of the cultural diversity of Blackpool, the website offers the facility to view the documents in many languages, ensuring that all parents across the Fylde Coast are equipped with the information they need.
