Context

The NHS design system mini-hub pattern is a way of presenting a series of information about one topic.

It's typically used to break down complex information about health conditions on the NHS website, but we identified them as a way to break up long or complex information on the NHS Notify website.

The mini-hub is made up of:

  • a heading and sub-heading which sit at the top of the page
  • a contents list component underneath the heading
  • a pagination component which goes at the bottom of the page

The NHS website team tested the mini-hub pattern with a range of users, including disabled people and people with low digital literacy. The Digital Accessibility Centre also tested the pattern. They found that:

  • the structure and labelling of the pages fitted users' mental model and helped them understand the structure of the content
  • the active link formatting in the contents list helped users know where they were and, in some cases, it helped them choose the information that was relevant to them
  • most users (including a user with very low digital skills) used the pagination to navigate through pages and knew it was related to the contents list at the top of the page
