Overview.
Our Words Director, Catherine Bassindale, has assisted with several key projects over the past few years, including:
- The 2011/12 Quality Account
- The last three annual reports
- Text for the new Barts Health website
- Patient literature including a large number of information leaflets
- The Trust’s patient letter templates
- The flagship GP Referral Guide
- Case studies for Barts and The London’s website
- The first draft of a microsite for Barts Health and Wellness.
The Royal London was our local hospital for many years, and it’s a pleasure to work with the Trust’s communications team.
Amanda White, former Communications Manager for Barts Health NHS Trust, says:
“Catherine has worked with us on lots of projects over the last few years and I only have great things to say about her. She’s tackled our patient information booklets, written copy for our websites, helped write a guide to services and written case studies for our annual review. Her written work is faultless, she delivers on time and she’s confident, friendly, and sensitive with everyone she works with here – senior doctors, managers and patients alike. Catherine also has great attention to detail and I know I can always rely on her to do an outstanding job.”

The case studies are typically uplifting and inspirational, to reflect the positivity of the patients. For example one young fitness fanatic is planning to set up his own martial arts academy, once he has completed treatment for cancer.

Some of the case studies are particularly moving, such as the story of baby Arthur, who was rushed from Dorset to the Royal London, to receive the specialist care that saved his life. Look at him now – he’s the cheeky little chap with the bucket and spade…
