SAHF Medical & Scientific Advisory Council · 2026

A focused digital platform for advancing bleeding-disorder care.

Clinical Platform

Clinical guidance, education, research and collaboration organised for healthcare professionals. Portfolio Creative designed the SAHF Medical & Scientific Advisory Council website as a specialist platform bringing together treatment guidance, clinical resources, research, symposium information and multidisciplinary collaboration in a confident, science-led experience.

The Challenge

Deep clinical content,
without the document dump.

MASAC needed to serve clinicians, researchers, nurses, allied professionals, speakers, sponsors and symposium delegates — without turning the website into a dense document repository.

The challenge was to clarify the council's role, surface high-value clinical resources quickly, and give the annual educational symposium a strong, visible programme platform of its own.

Our Approach

Four pillars,
direct routes to evidence.

We organised the experience around four clear pillars — clinical guidance, education, research and collaboration — then created direct routes to guidelines, papers, abstracts, resources and event actions.

The visual direction uses SAHF's identity with a more specialised scientific tone — strong editorial typography, a dark science-led hero and modular resource cards that scale across desktop and mobile.

01
Clinical Guidance
Evidence-informed guidance and practical resources for healthcare professionals involved in bleeding-disorder care.
02
Education
Symposiums, workshops and professional development opportunities for multidisciplinary care teams.
03
Research & Evidence
Abstracts, published papers and scientific exchange that support evidence-informed care.
04
Collaboration
Connection across disciplines, institutions and communities to strengthen national care.

Featured Programme

A visible home for the
Educational Symposium.

The annual SAHF MASAC Educational Symposium needed more than a mention — it needed a campaign platform. We gave the 2026 symposium a featured programme section with its own visual identity, programme details, and direct registration and sponsorship journeys, so the event can be promoted, updated and repeated year after year.
