Get started
To make your service consistent with the NHS, you should start by checking what exists in the NHS design system.
If something is not in the NHS design system, you should check what exists in the:
- NHS App design system
- NHS community backlog
- NHS App design system backlog
- government department pattern libraries
Reuse as much as possible and iterate based on user needs.
Using the design system
The NHS App design system brings together components and patterns created by designers and developers on the NHS App.
To use these components and patterns you can either:
- copy the HTML code
- copy the Nunjucks code (if you are using Nunjucks or the NHS App prototype)
Contributing to the design system
Anyone can contribute to the NHS App design system. You can share findings or suggest a change.
