Dear Carol-Ann
We subscribe to UpToDate and that has a facility where you can search for the health topic in another language. We have a lot of Spanish and Portuguese nurses now, so they can search in their native language.
The actual health topic review is written in English, but they do seem to appreciate the ability to search in Spanish or Portuguese at least. So we always include UpToDate and the search in another language facility in our Overseas staff induction.
Best wishes
Sarah

Dear All
A while back I think I remember someone producing a resource list / asking for ideas on what should be included in a library induction for overseas nurses.
I thought I had kept a copy but cannot trace it.
Does anyone have it or if not has anyone been involved with this user group and would be willing to share ideas etc.
Many thanks
