Please find below a link to the Information Skills group training courses on offer from Feb - Apr 2010:

http://bit.ly/6Ra9Qo (cut and paste this address into your browser if the link doesn't work)

The results of the Information Skills Training survey sent out in December indicated a high interest in healthcare databases, especially at the improvers level, so three of these courses have been arranged in the next three months. A series of Wednesday Workshops have also been set up for topics where there is interest but less content to merit a full training session.

All courses and workshops are:

- Free
- Open to anyone working for South London Healthcare NHS Trust and/or NHS Greenwich/Greenwich Community
Health Services
- Held in the Computer Suite at the Healthcare Library on the Queen Elizabeth, Woolwich site
- Held in groups of between 3 - 6 participants
- A mix of presentation, practical activities and (hopefully) lively discussion!

You will get a certificate of attendance for participating.

Contact Sian Aynsley, Information Skills Trainer for further information or to sign up for a course. Please ensure you do let us know you are coming so we can be sure to have enough materials for everyone on the day.

Contact details are in the link above.
