On 11 February LAS UNISON launched a redesigned home page. The structure is simpler with clearer lines between differing boxes. The ambulance news stories have been expanded and the Twitter feed has been merged with the main UNISON feed and moved to the top of the page.
We also introduced a scrolling carousel display at the top of the page. Unfortunately we have been made aware shortly after going live that this display unit is failing to show up on LAS service computers. We are working on a work around for this but in the meantime please advise if this is causing any significant problems. If you view the site from any non service PC it should render correctly.
