Abstract

Developing a GP portal within the NHS Scotland e-Library

We wanted to find out why GP's were particularly low users of the NHS Scotland e-Library, with the aim of producing a new knowledge portal dedicated to their needs. This presentation outlines the steps taken to assess the knowledge needs of NHS Scotland GP's and how the findings were translated into the development of a new General Practitioners Specialist e-Library for the NHS Scotland e-Library. The presentation will be followed by a demonstration of the new Specialist e-Library, and there will be opportunities for questions and discussion.

This session is shared with Zena Mulligan.
