FACTORED IN IMPROVEMENTS

Factored In is in the process of being further developed to reflect the needs of the young people who use it. A redesign and restructure is estimated to start in September and a review panel of young people has been established to ensure that the website continues to reflect the wishes and interests of young people with bleeding disorders.

We are planning on changing the entire site to make it look and feel new! This includes a new menu, news feed, new calendar and an even an updated Q & A section. The site will be so much easier and clearer to use!

If you want to help out with the website, have your say about design concepts or see the design before anyone else then join the review panel!

If you are interested please contact Hannah Opeskin hopeskin@haemophilia.org.au
