Healthcare Republic,
GP Newspaper and MIMS are seeing some significant changes for 2008.
First,
Healthcare Republic saw the launch of a new community platform this week with the creation of a 'forums and blogs' section on the site.
Healthcare Republic's forum is unique in that any members of the primary care community can take part in the debate, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, practice managers and anybody with a proven interest in medical issues.
The new community platform includes four forums:
- Healthcare Republic Feedback: this is where you can leave your opinion on the website itself, what you like about it and what you would like us to change
- Comments on articles: all the comments left by readers on articles and news stories can also be found in this forum where you can continue the discussion.
- Pay issues in primary care: Here you can discuss the latest developments on pay issues in primary care.
- NHS policy debate: What do you think about the ongoing reforms of the NHS? How do you see the future of primary care? Has Lord Darzi got it right? Have your say here.
In addition, we have created this Blog to keep you informed of what is going on in our publications. This will be regularly updated by our editors.
GP Newspaper is also experiencing a dramatic change in the New Year. Indeed, a fresh, new-look GP is changing from A3 format to Magloid – between A4 and tabloid. The first issue of the new version of GP is out on 11 January.
And last but not least,
MIMS will include new chapters in the New Year. From January 2008, the prescribing guide used by doctors and pharmacists will include four new resource chapters – palliative care, clinical guidelines, visual guides and essential drug comparison tables.
