Social care publications

The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) produces good practice guides and briefings for professionals working in social care.

We have worked on a wide range of publications, editing the text to ensure accuracy and clarity, and working with designers and printers to ensure delivery on time and within budget.

Knowledgeable, organised, and always aware of who the project is designed for.

The Health Foundation is a major independent charity working to improve the quality of health care in the UK.

We undertook a thorough review of the charity’s publishing processes (including a benchmarking exercise) and made several recommendations, contributing to a streamlined workflow and saving time and costs.

Offender Health Collaborative briefing

The National Liaison and Diversion Development Network is an initiative aimed at improving health outcomes for offenders and reducing reoffending.

We were asked by the Network to produce a briefing highlighting the work of the Offender Health Collaborative (OHC), to show how self-assessment can be used to improve the quality of local offender services.

Making the case for green printing

Three Five Four is a long-established printing company that is committed to good environmental practices. (Even their name reflects the pantone colour green).

We wrote the copy for their new website, helping to drive an increase in business.

Quickly got to grips with the project, and then delivered. Very happy with the result

QualityWatch visual identity

QualityWatch is a five-year joint Health Foundation/Nuffield Trust programme, measuring care quality in the NHS in England.

The brief was to source and implement a visual identity that would reflect the 'digital-first' ethos of the joint venture. Working with a leading branding agency we managed the delivery of the new brand including procurement, design direction and internal communications.

The new identity successfully supported digital and print communications, an annual conference and other events.

Project Management Secrets

MB Communications Director Matthew Batchelor is the author of the best-selling Project Management Secrets. Published by HarperCollins in 2010, the book has sold over 10,000 copies in English and has been translated into languages, including Portuguese, Thai and Vietnamese.

A chartered project manager (ChPP), Matthew delivers presentations and  training events based on the stories and insights in the book, to help organisations improve the way they think about and manage communications projects.

Because we believe in good project management that delivers social value, reduced training rates always available to public and voluntary organisations.

NHS Employers newsletter

We were asked by NHS Employers to produce a weekly newsletter for emailing to HR professionals across the NHS. For each issue we prepared a draft list of articles, then wrote and edited the text prior to distribution.
