Libraries on Facebook
Like many other companies in the UK, our Trust has banned access to Facebook and Twitter.  I think both products have their uses as a marketing tool - and certainly prove staff are "with it" - but I fear I remain unconvinced about the return value for the time & effort required to set up pages and, more importantly, keep them right up to the minute. It's an ongoing debate!

Hi all

I've been experimenting with Facebook and Twitter
with a personal page and I would now like to set up a
page for the library itself on Facebook.

If there are any of you out there that have already done so,
would you give me details and access to your pages
so that I can decide the best way of presenting our library

Thanks in advance

Regards

Apply to become a member of your local Hospital !

Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust is applying to become a Foundation Trust and we want to recruit 4,000 members (who can be either patients or members of the public) from the local community to have a say in how the Trust is run and help shape the future of the hospital for the next 20 years. Members can:

• Help influence decisions about future plans for the development of the Trust.
• Support the work of the Trust and receive regular newsletters.
• Stand for election to the Council of Governors and work with the Trust Board to ensure that the Trust delivers services that reflect the needs of the local community.

If you feel you don’t have the time to get too involved then that is fine – we can just send you information about our services so that you can keep up to date with our plans. We are reassuring all of our members that the level of commitment required as a member is entirely up to them and there are absolutely no fees or subscriptions.

Applying is very easy and will only take a couple of minutes. You can apply for membership online at: http://www.meht.nhs.uk/foundation-trust/apply-online/. Alternatively, you can request a membership application form by e-mailing [log in to unmask], by calling: 01245 514508 (during office hours) or by writing to Foundation Trust Office, Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, CM1 7ET.
