NHS CHOICES

I recruited Josa Young to help me launch the NHS Choices website last March (2007). Josa edited the Live Well section, the ‘lifestyle magazine’ section that featured advice, interviews and tips to engage and inform the user. Josa was responsible for the content as well as the concept, including the look and feel of the section, which has since been evaluated as one of the most popular areas of the site. Users of all ages and both sexes loved the images, the articles and the way it had been organised. This is testament to Josa’s talent, vision and delivery.

It was a pleasure working with Josa, who remained professional and upbeat throughout, despite the difficult circumstances she was working in - we had only 16 weeks to recruit a team, design, build and launch the site.

I highly recommend her to a prospective employer.
