New Site Design Goes Live
2 Feb 2010
Welcome to the new design! We hope you like it and will find it easy to navigate through.
At present only the 'home' page of each section has been updated, but the other pages will be updated over the next few weeks.
The aim is to provide a simpler, cleaner view which will be easier to read. The text is slightly larger and the pages are fixed-width, preventing long lines of text. There are also background changes that make the site work better with specialised text or simplified view browsers.
Please use the Feedback Form page if you have any comments, either on the new design, or anything else on this site.
Sub-menu Has Moved
One change to note from the old design is that the sub-menu for each section now appears on the left, below the main selection button in the list. Previously the sub-menu was along the top of the pages, below the header (and still is on the old style pages).
Minor Changes to Follow
We will probably continue to make minor changes and improvements to the design as issues become clear over time.

New
Website Design
8 Dec 2009
This BHPS website is being redesigned and will soon have a new look! It is currently being redesigned by the HP Resources Department.
The main aim is to further improve accessibility for those using special web viewers, but it should work better in ordinary browsers too. A lot of the changes are technical, to the underlying page structure, so won't be visible, but the pages will have a new look.
It
will have a similar layout to this current design, with a top heading banner
showing which section you are in and a contents menu down the left. Some
other changes are:
-
Fonts slightly larger
-
Fixed width pages - eliminates long lines of text on large monitors
Also some sections that are no longer being updated will be removed.
Staged Change
The change will take place over a number of weeks, but the first step will be for the Home pages of each section to be updated.
This initial change should happen later this month, or early in January, and the majority of the site should be completed by March.
Request
Access for Video Previews on NHS Network
4 Dec 2009
If
you are using the Resource Service on-line catalogue on a computer on the
NHS Intranet network then (as standard) you are unable to watch the video
preview clips. But you can request to the IT Department for access
to them.
This may also be true in other large organisations, e.g. local councils.
See the Resources News page for more information.

Items - Don't Misuse Antibiotics
Moxy Malone is on the Case! - Tracking down the truth about antibiotics
22 Oct 2009
The
Resource Service have just added a range of new items for highlighting
the importance of not misusing or overusing antibiotics. They feature
Moxy Malone - tracking down the truth!
There is a leaflet, two posters and a pad of tear-off information flyers. The aim is to highlight the facts that antibiotics are not effective against colds and that overuse can cause long-term problems such as increasing resistant strains of bacteria.
