The FAQ. (Feel free to ask additional questions here
Q. What is the advantage of registering with this server when I am
already registered with another?
Two advantages. NHSpeople is dedicated to supporting the NHS and
will return profits to the NHS. NHSpeople will also be offering a catalogue of
facilities and benefits to NHS staff.
Q. One of the problems with NHSnet was that the "fire wall" kept out
professional organisations like mine (funded by NHS E).
Will your organisation be any different? In other words can we
register as NHSpeople.net users?
Yes.
Q. Who is behind NHSpeople.
The NHSpeople project has grown out of the NHSIMPACT group and the
needs identified by it. Details are at www.nhsimpact.net
Barry James, who co-ordinates the NHSIMPACT group is the driving
force behind NHSpeople. Barry has a long history of innovative projects designed
to enable NHS to utilise networking on a regional and national basis, including
his role as co-founder of the Oxford Clinical Intranet & Internet Conference.
You can find his biog on the oxford conference site at
www.oxfordconference.co.uk
Q. How can I contact NHSpeople?
email us at [log in to unmask]
Fax us at 07070 607651
Q. Do you plan to use the information collected on the
pre-registration site for other marketing purposes
No.
Q. Wouldn't the use of a modem to connect to the Internet from a
computer already connected to NHSnet be in contravention of the NHSnet code of
connection?
Yes it would and we would advise against this. In any case if you
already have a connection to the web from your desk via NHSnet you will not need
NHSpeople for this. You might however still want to use the web site and sign up
for home use.
Q. There are many companies offering "free" Internet access. Does
this one offer anything that the others don't?
Yes. Please see the question above, but in short: money back into
the NHS and benefits (discounts, information etc) for individual NHS staff.
Q. Where does it get a profit from?
Like freeserve and other free-to-use Internet service providers
NHSpeople's income will come primarily from a share of 'interconnect fees'. This
is effectively a small proportion of the incoming local call charges.
Q. You say you will "put hard cash directly back into the NHS and
the patients they care for ". How will this be done?
The details are still being worked out and discussed within the
IMPACT group but broadly:
- One third into primary care (via participating PCGs) - into care
and networking related projects
- One third into secondary care (via Projects)
- One third into the network, adding useful functionality to the
network itself
