A one day workshop run by
West Midlands Career Development Group, CILIP
Health Information is a fast
changing environment where it is often difficult for the non-specialist to keep
informed. The West Midlands Career Development Group has a workshop running on
the 4th November 2008 so that Library and Information professionals who work
outside of the health environment can see
how this specialist area is
changing and developing.
Outcomes for the day:
Our objective is to equip
librarians and information workers from public libraries, social care, FE and
other sectors with the knowledge to explore and discover the wealth of health
and social care information available to them and their clients.
To draw on the experience of
local speakers to showcase 4 areas of high quality health resources (this
includes: a hospital health information centre, an online directory of health
and social care information and support groups, Information on prescription,
Health Exchange).
Attendees will leave with a
comprehensive list of health and social care resources that are available to
them and their clients.
There will also be a chance
to ask questions of the speakers and to network with colleagues.
