“We set out a brief to create a new brand and identity for Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership. We also required a new website to match the refreshed identity of the Partnership and to host statutory requirements of the Integrated Care Board (ICB). The team at NECS worked to gain insight from stakeholders before developing some initial concepts. A selection of these concepts were refined and presented to partners within the Partnership before a final selection was made.
The new brand provides a recognisable, engaging and visually appealing identity which went live on 1 April 2022 and has generally received a positive response from colleagues, partners and stakeholders. A website was developed alongside this brand to meet the needs and functionality required and is also visually appealing and has been well received.“
