GP Practice Website Modernisation · Case Study

Sorrel Bank Medical Practice

A practical demonstration of how an established GP practice website can be transformed into a clearer, more accessible patient experience — with a dedicated console to help staff keep information up to date.

This is a GP & Healthcare Support Services Group demonstration website, shown alongside the practice’s existing website with permission. It is not presented as a completed live migration.

The transformation

See the difference

The existing site brings together extensive patient information, announcements and navigation. Our redesigned demonstration prioritises the everyday tasks patients need to complete, while retaining access to important practice information.

Designed around patients and staff

What the redesign demonstrates

Find services faster

Prominent routes to appointments, prescriptions, contact details and opening hours.

Clearer patient guidance

Better-organised online services, self-help advice and important announcements.

Responsive design

A structured layout designed to work across desktop, tablet and mobile screens.

Visible practice alerts

Important notices can be highlighted without dominating every part of the homepage.

Practice information in one place

Contact information, locations, staff and services can be managed through the Practice Console.

Ongoing control

Staff have dedicated tools to manage opening hours, news and patient communications.

Behind the website

More than a visual redesign

The GPSSG Practice Console provides a central dashboard for routine website and patient communication tasks, without requiring staff to edit complex page layouts.

A dedicated Practice Console

The demonstration dashboard brings together practice details, opening hours, patient alerts, news, staff, services and locations.

Staff can see the areas available to them and navigate directly to common tasks.

Opening hours made easier to manage

Staff can enter morning and afternoon sessions, record closures and extended access information, and preview how opening times will appear on the website.

The example also demonstrates different presentation styles for opening hours.

Why structure matters

A long dropdown illustrates how navigation can become difficult to scan.

Text-heavy information provides an opportunity for clearer, more scannable presentation.
