Contents... The NHS CMS Predicament ,[object Object]
Issues faced
Fixing the problemSet-up at Barnsley Hospital BEFORE the re-development ,[object Object]
Off-shoot (rebel) sites
Reasons for re-developmentWebsite Re-development Project  ,[object Object]
The road to WordPress
WordPress set-up (plugins, users, etc)
Site stats, feedback & future plans,[object Object]
The NHS CMS Predicament... Lack of tools/strategy ,[object Object]
No central body has been given the responsibility of providing this service
This causes health organisations to waste time and money on the procurement of non-standardised and untestedCMS tools or developing their own systems,[object Object]
121 different systemsand ideas for content management
121 web development teams and 1000s of users not communicating with each other
Leads to frustration, a lack of standards and a lot of wasted time and money,[object Object]
Not all organisations have a dedicated and skilled team which can support or develop a CMS solution
Often organisations are seen as easy targets for development firms out to make a ‘quick buck’ (NHS Cash-cow syndrome),[object Object]
The NHS CMS Predicament... Fixing the problem?? Its clear that the NHS possess quality CMS solutions... DoH NHS Direct NHS Choices All of these sites must use tried and tested systems to publish content on the web
The NHS CMS Predicament... Fixing the problem?? ,[object Object]
A sponsored centralised solution could easily be developed using existing tools and methods that could then be shared out to any organisation wishing to use it
A system similar in design to the recent ‘NHS Mail’ project could be devised and made available as an option for organisations to use and participate in,[object Object]
Such a tool could even be released as open-source software using a GPL-like licence allowing organisations to re-develop and modify to their specific needs
Ultimately this could lead to...
100s of different sites
1000s of users
 Just 1 CMS,[object Object]
Set-up at Barnsley Hospital BEFORE the re-development
Set-up at Barnsley Hospital... Old External Site Internal Intranet ,[object Object]
Hospital News/Events
Patient information
Board/Corporate Info
Moderated content
Internal ‘N3’ site
Staff information (news, events)
Departmental sub-sites (60 sites)
Built in-house (Classic ASP)
Un-moderated content,[object Object]
Re-development project focused on the external website…
Old external website… Developed in 2004 as a ‘quick fix’ Static HTML site Used Dreamweaver Templates Lacking in content Vastly out of date These issues led to off-shoot sites www.bhnft.nhs.uk
Off-shoot (rebel) sites... Barnsley PGME Barnsley Audiology Barnsley Dietetic and Nutrition Barnsley Healthy Workplace Barnsley ICT Services Nursing in the North North Trent Cancer Network Barnsley Pathology Services Staff Support Services
Example off-shoot (rebel) site... www.barnsleyaudiology.nhs.uk
Off-shoot (rebel) sites... Barnsley PGME Barnsley Audiology Barnsley Dietetic and Nutrition Barnsley Healthy Workplace To help maintain and streamline development of these sites and after a lengthy search I had actually procured a pretty decent open-source ASP.Net CMS: Umbraco (www.umbraco.org) Barnsley ICT Services Nursing in the North North Trent Cancer Network Barnsley Pathology Services Staff Support Services
Using Umbraco… Reason for choosing Umbraco ,[object Object]
Simple to use, install, maintain
Open-source
FREE
The best free ASP.Net available ,[object Object]
Using PHP/MySQL… Getting PHP/MySQL in the organisation was one of the greatest challenges I faced as a web developer In the end it came down to money…. In order to build upon the Umbraco CMS I insisted that we would require the Pro (supported) AND some expert training as I had little or no time to learn Umbracoto the required level
The problem with Umbraco… Moving away from Umbraco ,[object Object]
No funding for paid support/training (Pro version)
No knowledge on how or if it could be scaled
Long learning curve
We had finally allowed PHP/MySQL in the organisation,[object Object]
Losing Umbraco… Passionate developers and a emerging community
