Dear all,
Have been in Preston all afternoon - so only just catching up with all of this from home.
I'm not yet sure who / which Dept of DH the guidance has come from - but it has been created by the legal team advising the National Knowledge Service which is part of Connecting for Health.
I know that it doesn't match up to expectations in some areas; I saw it for the first time yesterday afternoon and expected there to be a blizzard of emails. However, it's the best we've got and it's clearly up to senior staff in Trusts to weigh up the alternatives and decide whether to go for a licence or not.
Posters - yes, it's a good idea to have a north west one (or even a national NHS one). I've seen a couple of examples so far - the problem - believe it or not - is that they are so close to the CILIP one - that they may infringe copyright! I'll follow this up tomorrow when I'm back in the office.
Please remember to let me know if your Trust does take a licence - I know of two PCTs that have, plus one mental health and two acute Trusts that are considering it - but have not heard about any others.
David

Hello,
Is there scope here for the Northwest to produce a Copyright poster (quickly!!) that reflects the 'guidance' and where we stand now if the Trust decides not to buy a licence? Something that perhaps mirrors what the CILIP poster says and which can be reproduced as many times as is required by each Trust, so one can be displayed at each and every copier as suggested?
Something on publisher maybe?
It must be cheaper than everyone buying the CILIP version and better than us all spending time creating our own?
Has someone done this already and be willing to share their version of a poster?
Cheryl.
