If you’re a health professional who wants your questions answered – get yourself down to Strand Palace, London on Wednesday 21st September.

IE will be showcasing our Commissioning Group Website, Extranet and Branding Packages at the event. As digital marketing specialists for the health sector, we have 17 years’ experience of designing and creating NHS brands, websites, intranets, extranets and web-based applications.

We’re currently working on 3 NHS projects – A GP extranet and website for the Emerging Brighton and Hove Commissioning Group, an intranet for Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust and an e-Resource Centre for the NHS and the University of Wolverhampton.

For us, the New Health commissioning forum is – above all – a great opportunity to meet people. If you’d like to find out how IE can help you face the comms and digital marketing challenges that lie ahead then do drop in – we’d love to put faces to names and explore how we might work together.
