Multi Device Ready
Your clients expect a modern website that works well across devices – desktops, tablets and smartphones. Usage statistics confirm that increasingly, that’s where your clients are spending their time online.Risk Management
A well designed website can form part of your Risk Management Strategy. The complaint most often expressed by patients is “my doctor did not explain this (condition / treatment / procedure) to me properly”. While it’s almost certain that the patient is mistaken, there is a mechanism to avoid this issue altogether. Simply ensure you document the provision of a link to relevant content present on your website. We recommend comprehensive patient information be well categorised and easily available on your website. This patient information could include a wide variety of media, including photos, illustrations, online videos, PowerPoint presentations etc.

Educate your patients about the various conditions that you treat, and the treatments and procedures that you offer, including timely news articles on new developments.
