Planning, designing and evaluating a departmental medical illustration website.
The Medical Illustration Department at West Glasgow Hospitals made a decision to construct a departmental website that would not only raise awareness of the department but also demonstrate the expertise in website construction the medical illustration staff had developed. Departmental staff and client base surveys were conducted to define what was required for a successful departmental website. Further investigation was conducted by surveying five existing medical illustration websites. Based on this initial data the website was constructed. A post-construction survey was conducted to assess suitability, usability and to highlight any potential problem areas.
