15. Ben provided excellent and exciting creative services to the Cheshire East Place partners and the MyCareView Application
Programme since early 2020.
He has worked directly with the public and patients to understand their needs and concerns through open forums and
honest conversation.
His outputs have brilliantly addressed these needs and produced high quality visual campaigns and has built trust with
39,000+ registered users. It is because of the work that he has done that MyCareView has won the Patient Facing Digital
Solutions award at the Health Tech Newspaper Awards 2021 and the iESE Best Use of Digital and Technology Care award
2022.
I have no hesitation in recommending Ben’s services; his advice and guidance has been invaluable to the MyCareView
Programme Board.

Ben coordinated our “We are WUTH” recruitment campaign at short notice,
coordinating on-ward photography, graphic design, and the scheduling of paid and
organic social media content.
This was a new approach for the organisation, and we were very happy with the results.
I would happily work with Ben again on a similar project.

refocusing and realigning our overarching communications strategy and enacting
digital and print campaigns focussed on our research, policy and delivering impacts.
Ben was extremely approachable,

28. Ben provided invaluable expertise and hand-on support to Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer
Alliance during an exceptionally busy time and we were really impressed with him from the word
go.
He brought strategic thinking, boundless energy and a huge amount of common sense, along
with the ability to develop extremely strong working relationships both internally and externally.
Ben developed a new communications strategy and website for the cancer alliance, along with a
wealth of great content including videos and patient case studies. His role also involved close
working with NHS England, regionally and nationally.
