Did you know?
We’ve formed a community of practice to bring together everyone involved with content across the organisation.
Why we need a content community
NICE creates a lot of content. This could be guidance, Twitter posts, website pages, implementation tools, YouTube videos, newsletters or content for any other communication channel.
Our new community of practice will:
- help us understand how user-centred content design can improve our products and services
- collaboratively define and communicate standards and best practice guidelines for content design
- support everyone who works with content to learn and progress.
Our community of practice will help us to improve our products and services through user-centred design

Our aim
We want to be a space where people who work with, or alongside, content can develop and share best practice. It's also a great opportunity for ongoing professional development.
We do this by:
- sharing knowledge and techniques
- supporting each other
- fostering collaboration
- improving performance
- generating and managing a body of knowledge.

Working together
As a community, we want to be visible across the organisation. We'll work together to form best practice but also to provide support and guidance to others.
It's important for us to collaborate and work on things together. We share and value the input of all members, regardless of grade, job title or experience. We are a supportive and friendly community who welcome everyone from all areas.
What we've achieved so far
We had our first meeting in March this year. Since then, around 25 people have come together around every 6 weeks. We've had interesting presentations on a range of subjects including:
- NHS Digital's content production process
- search engine optimisation
- data analytics.
We've also had workshops to begin developing our design principles and discussions about how we use professional titles.
Join us
We've got a content community MS Teams channel where you can join discussions and keep up to date with when our next meetings are happening.
You do not need to have 'content' in your job title, you just need to be interested in content and want to learn more.
If you've any questions or would like to find out more, you can contact Emilene Coventry, senior medical editor, contact Chris Flood, content strategy lead or contact Jane Wright, lead content designer.
