SPIS, Current Science Group

Science Press Internet Services designs, builds, manages and provides original content for a whole host of medical websites.

My main tasks at the moment are managing the development of the compnies internet site and developing and building an intranet site.
A large part of my job is to take traditional print content and design an online interface that will maximise usability for the end user (medical professionals). Content includes small disease guidelines manuals, drug information databases, large image atlases. In the majority of cases, this is then branded accordingly and integrated into the client site.
I'm also involved in whole site development with a large influence on structural and functional design and am heavily involved in the managment of the development of a new series of patient-orientated medical websites. I built the full demo site (www.csghealth.com) (HTML and Javascript) and will be responsible for the day-to-day and long-term management when the sites go live.
