The idea for a website originated back last December and it is only now that I have had the time to move the idea forward. The Health Foundation organised a one day event 'Building Influence - How to influence more effectively in the health service' for all their Award holders. Everyone had to identify one thing that they would take away with them from the day - mine was the idea of having my own website where I could document not only my research but also the changes in clinical practice within my place of work that have resulted.
The website currently has a holding page but will hopefully become live very soon........I am awaiting delivery of my Frontpage 2003 CD, brand new, bargain price, off eBay! A recommended book 'Frontpage Made Easy' should also be winging its way here from Amazon - how did I ever manage shopping pre-internet! A whole new exciting challenge lies ahead - website design - I could get someone else to do it, but no fun in that. My basic grasp of HTML (plus the help of another excellent little book - 'HTML in 10 minutes') has enabled me to make some adaptations to both my blog and the website holding page, of which I'm very proud!
So, apart from learning something new, the website aims to be a useful resource to provide an additional and alternative way of disseminating information about depression in primary care.
