NHS Forum – a new communication channel
by Kirsty on Aug.20, 2005, under Uncategorized
Whilst hunting through the thickets of the world wide web yesterday, I came across a brand new forum for NHS staff. It appears to be designed as a chat medium for NHS professionals to post their true feelings about the NHS, it´s changes and any government plans in an anonymous format.
I suspect that this will become really popular because my own experience with the NHS is that open discussion is suppressed in case it does not fit with the desired direction. Consequently everyone moans behind the scenes but actual open productive resistance to projects is largely unseen. This is unhealthly in any organisation but in this environment it means that the people who really know how it all works rarely get to say what they think. NHSforum will certainly change that.
However, what I really wanted to say was that this is a great new communication channel for commercial professionals, such as oursleves, to advertise to healthcare professionals. We´ve done a deal already and so we wish the new venture every success!
