The UMSLG Open Forum is an annual event that brings together healthcare
librarians and information professionals from the NHS, Higher Education
and related sectors to discuss topics of mutual interest and to share
experiences and examples of effective collaboration and best practice.
This year's Open Forum, on the theme of e-learning in health and
medicine, has been planned jointly by UMSLG (the University Medical
School Librarians Group) and UHSL (the University Health Sciences
Librarians Group).
At this year's Open Forum we will also be initiating the launch of the
University Health and Medical Librarians Group (UHMLG), bringing
together UMSLG and UHSL.
Programme
There is an increasing interest in the use of e-learning to support
training and education in health and social care. e-learning is now
commonplace for the delivery of medical and health sciences education in
Higher Education. Library and information professionals play a key role
in supporting and enhancing the e-learning experience for staff and
students. This year's Open Forum brings together key speakers who will
review developments in e-learning in both HE and the NHS.
The programme will start at 10.00 with registration, and end at 4.30
with a cheese and wine reception to signal the launch of UHMLG, and

West) - e-learning initiatives in the NHS
+ Angie Clarke (Head of Service, NLH) - The NLH and e-learning
