Community Eyecare SharePoint Intranet

Founded in 2012, CHEC – Community Eyecare has worked in partnership with thousands of optometrists to deliver our shared care partnership model. CHEC is now one of the largest providers of community-based ophthalmology services in the UK.

Project Details:

CHEC was looking to implement its first intranet by focusing on prioritising communication functions and user-friendly design, while also planning for future expansion and sophistication. These requirements include:

1. Multi-Site Communication: The intranet must facilitate communication across various CHEC sites within the UK.

2. Central Platform for Information Sharing:

   • To disseminate business updates and industry news.
   • To provide access to shared documents.
   • To serve as a one-stop shop with quick links to third-party systems.

3. Uniform Template-Driven Design:

   • Ensure a consistent look, feel, and navigation across different areas.
   • Facilitate user familiarity with the site’s flow.

4. Mega Menu Implementation:

   • Allow users to reach any part of the site within three clicks.

5. Role-Based Navigation:

   • Enable conditional access based on user permissions.

6. Initial and Future Development Plans:

   • Identify and agree on essential features for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
   • Outline iterated development based on the departmental wish list for future enhancements.
