Depends what area you are applying for Linds...


there are collaboratives, quangos, usergroups etc all over the place...

Gis an idea of what area the job is in and I will point you at some links

Librarian - going to out to staff and training them on how to use knowledge resources efficiently. I have loads of experience of this but never for the NHS so don't know what they use.

Ok...

I was actually dumped in the PCT resource library (as a temporary hotdesk!) during one of my jobs!.

Its a bit of shambles to be honest.... a 'baptism of fire!'

Ermmmm, from what I remember, the resource library staff knew their stuff (they were big on dvds and props...as well as books n stuff!).... and you have already mentioned Health Info Resources.

To be honest..... google is their friend!

You have probably put enough for your application.

But if you get the job.... GOOGLE GOOGLE GOOGLE! Prob in the NHS is... they are so segregated... resources are duplicated without anyone realising it.

Also... any of the professional bodies...

e.g.
Health Professions Council - www.hpc-uk.org

You could literally write a phone book with all the different links. So don't even try.

Just remember to read around before the interview and be able to demonstrate that you have a knowledge of their existance at interview.

Good luck xx

Thank you! I have got all my info so far from Google but was wondering if there was some secret insider resource that only people with experience would know about.

I know I could do it but just need to get in there.

Thanks so much for your help x

I spent 5 years wondering if there was some secret central resource I was missing... turns out their isn't!

Linds... I was just out in the car, going to the shop, thinking about this... thought if I gave you some of the main links I used to use it would give you some idea of what you are dealing with (and some familiarity if any of these abbreviations are thrown at you).

NHSLA & CNST

National Patient Safety Agency

Natpact

CPA

Check out their links pages too.

(I ended up keeping an excel spreadsheet filled with any link I ever came across.... it had over 500 entries! )

I work for the NHS, what are you applying for? Different regions have different criteria, as Dirtypretty has said google google !

Haha! I quite enjoy working in a shambles! Noone notices what a shambles I am if they are all as bad Thanks again. I will do some reading around on it later and come back to that bit.

Good luck Linds, if you are not sure, just bullsh*t like the rest of us
