It is very fitting that the first announcement of the NeLH website should
go this mailing list, whose members have done so much to raise the game on
information for clinical practice.
During 1999 healthcare professionals in the UK (both those individuals
linked to NHSNet and those linked to the Internet) will gain access to a
dedicated electronic library service, as part of the new information
strategy for the NHS 'Information for Health' (available at
http://www.imt4nhs.exec.nhs.uk/strategy/index.htm)
Library services in support of evidence-based medicine will include access
to best practice texts, the Cochrane Library, and other services.
Right now, the library is at the planning stage. The development team (Muir
Gray, Ben Toth, Veronica Fraser, Robert Ward, Bob Gann) welcome your views.
A web site http://www.nelh.nhs.uk describes the initiative.
There is a mailbase discussion list for those who would like to discuss the
NeLH.
