Shaping the future of healthcare education and research
Council of Deans of Health represents the UK’s strategic academic leaders in healthcare education and research, supporting universities and organisations to strengthen public health and teaching across the sector.
Challenge
The Council needed a modern, flexible website that could support a large and active membership, handle complex content structures, and provide tools for posting jobs, resources, and policy updates – all while maintaining accessibility and SEO integrity.
Solution
Built in partnership with Ave Design, the new site uses a PorterWP full-site editing theme featuring pre-set templates and block patterns for effortless page creation. We implemented advanced search with Relevanssi Ajax, custom post types for jobs, events, and groups, and automated cron tasks to archive expired listings. Members can now post roles directly for admin review, creating a seamless workflow for sector recruitment.
Outcome
The result is a fast, accessible, and easy-to-manage platform that supports members, promotes collaboration, and helps elevate the standards of healthcare education across the UK.
