Who for: Pharmacy – Jennie Watson
We were approached to create a revision tool for the School of Pharmacy, this was a product to be used by the graduates to cover the GPhC registration assessment framework.
As the graduates would be using this tool in the workplace or on the go we developed a website further into a app for downloading onto phones.
The site is restricted to a set amount of students provided by the school, registration was not open.
The tool was developed in WordPress using the LearnDash LMS plugin. The app was further developed from the desktop site into a stand alone app.

Testimonial: Laura is a graphic designer and a former teacher, turned e-learning developer. A wonderful combination of creativity, pedagogy and technological skill; and the most pragmatic ‘nerd’ (her word not mine) that I have ever met. Within hours of me sharing my ‘wants’ she had produced a more realistic version of my ‘needs’; in other words taken the Digital Professionalism Mapping Tool online and turned it into an interactive tool.
