Apologies for cross-posting. Dear colleagues, More and more information is now accessed electronically. While some of this is well presented and easy to access, a lot of it is not. NICE are keen that the electronic versions of its guidance improve not just access to this important material, but also its relevance to the end user. NICE's Electronic Guidance Access Project (EGAP) will lead to important changes in the way its guidance is presented, as well as shaping how people search for and access information about NICE guidance. To help us ensure that what we do properly reflects end-user requirements, NICE wants to hear what you have to say. We are holding a workshop for users of NICE public health guidance on 6 July between 10:30am and 2.30pm at the NICE Manchester office, Peter House, Oxford Street. At the workshop we will be exploring how people currently access and use NICE public health guidance and what more we could be doing to make it easier to both access and use. Lunch and refreshments will be provided and standard travel expenses will be covered. We would also like to work with users of NICE technology appraisal guidance, either to aid clinical decision making, plan or commission services, educate or fulfil governance functions. We will set up a virtual (online) community to help us engage with users throughout the lifetime of the project and you are cordially invited to join this community. If you work in public health and would like to attend this workshop please contact [log in to unmask] (0161 209 3882) or [log in to unmask] (020 7067 5927). Similarly, if you are a user of NICE technology appraisal guidance and would like to join our online community, please contact Jennifer or Ian as above.
