There's a trend in GP-UK postings which call for 'outsiders' to be
excluded. James Kennedy is in courageous contrast, saying that non GPs
add a lot to the discussion. Personally, I'd be very saddened to be
booted out.
Anyway, I thought I'd pass on the well-advanced IMG plans in relation to
web and newsgroup services which will come with the intranet NHSnet. The
NHSweb, for example, will be a private selection of www sites only
accessible to those who have signed (and are eligible to sign) the NHSnet
Code of Connection. Over 600 organisations, a third of them NHS, have
already applied for an slot therein. Presumably many of them will
'mirror' their sites outside the NHSweb as well. The whole thing will be
fronted by a nifty find-what-you-want directory, allowing users to select
search perspectives such 'GP'.
More relevant to GP-UK, the facility will be available for folk to set up
email discussion forums - doubly private in that to get admitted you have
to not be a Code of Connection signatory but also be accepted by the
moderator of the forum.
Any views?
