The NCG Website Development Initiative aims to support hospitals within the National Cancer Grid (NCG) in developing modern, user-friendly and informative websites using standardised website templates designed for healthcare institutions.
A hospital website is often the first point of contact for patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals and other stakeholders. Through this initiative, NCG centres can leverage a common set of website templates and structured content guidelines to establish a clear, consistent and accessible digital presence while retaining their individual institutional identity.
The initiative provides a standardised starting point for website development, helping centres work with their website vendors more effectively and streamline the process of planning, creating and maintaining their hospital websites.
NCG centres interested in participating can submit an Expression of Interest through the application form.
The NCG Website Development Initiative has been designed to make website development more structured and accessible for NCG centres of different sizes.
Through a dedicated Website Toolkit, participating centres can explore standardised website templates suited to their institutional requirements. These templates provide a common framework for organising hospital information, presenting clinical services and facilities, and helping visitors navigate essential information.
The initiative also aims to simplify coordination between hospitals and their website development vendors by providing guidance on website structure and the content required for each section.
Explore website templates designed to accommodate the needs of small, medium and large hospitals, with a common foundation and additional sections where required.
Use section-wise content guidance to understand the information, text, images and supporting material required to populate the selected website template.
Organise important hospital information, including departments, clinical services, doctors, facilities, patient information and contact details, in a clear and accessible format.
Provide your website vendor with a defined website structure and prepared content, helping streamline development, review and implementation.
Retain your institution's identity through its branding, approved content, photographs and relevant institutional information while using the selected standardised template as the foundation.
The initiative is intended for hospitals that are members of the National Cancer Grid.
NCG centres interested in developing a new hospital website or revamping an existing one can explore the available templates and submit an Expression of Interest.
Centres are encouraged to identify a designated coordinator who can lead the process internally and coordinate with the website vendor and relevant hospital departments.
Review the information on this page to understand the initiative and the process for participation.
Complete the online application form with your hospital's details, current website status, preferred approach and designated coordinator.
Use the NCG Homepage Selector Widget to explore the available options and identify the template best suited to your hospital.
Use the content submission guidelines available through the Website Toolkit to prepare the information required for each section of your selected template. This may include hospital and department profiles, doctor details, clinical services, facilities, contact information and photographs.
Need images for your website? You can refer to the NCG Website Toolkit Image Library for suitable images where required. However, we strongly recommend using actual photographs of your hospital, facilities, doctors and team wherever possible, as these help build authenticity and trust with your audience.
Share your selected website template and completed content with your website development vendor to initiate development. Use the toolkit as a common reference to help align the hospital and vendor on the website structure and content requirements.
Review the developed website to ensure that the content is accurate, the information is complete and the website functions well across devices. Obtain the necessary institutional approvals and complete the required technical checks before launch.
Nominate a person or team responsible for keeping your website updated. Work with your vendor to ensure that doctor profiles, services, contact details, announcements and other important information remain accurate and current.
