Abstract

Development of a portal: focusing on the experiences of the Information Manager for the Stroke Portal

The Stroke Portal within the NHS Scotland e-Library was released in May 2005, directed at healthcare professionals working in the field of stroke. The portal is now moving into a new phase of development – that of a patient and public interface. Lynn Caldwell, Information Specialist, will discuss how the portal was developed to its initial release phase, the transition to support a public/patient interface and the developments planned as part of the wider development of the NHS Scotland e-Library. She will then go on to discuss the support structure adopted for the development of the portals.
