11/01/21- User workshop- redesigning the Innovation Gateway homepage

We are currently in the process of re-designing the Gateway homepage and will be running a session on the 11th January 10.30am-12pm to gather user feedback to help inform the new design and make the page more user-friendly.

What will happen on the day

  • You will be given a link to a Google Hangouts meeting
  • We will run you through 2 or 3 short screen-based exercises that will help us understand how we can structure the website so that it is useful and easy to understand.
  • We may ask you to write short sentences on the chat (for instance, “Which option do you think it’s best, 1 or 2?”), or ask you to further explain your answers out loud (“Why did you choose that?”)
  • There are no wrong answers, and you don’t have to prepare anything ahead of time.


We currently are looking to fill a few spaces in the workshop with academic researchers/clinicians. If you are interested and available please do comment below or get in touch with Vicky at vicky.hellon@hdruk.ac.uk You do not need to have any previous knowledge of the Gateway or HDR UK.
