Current Awareness - keeping up-to-date

By
We've updated our Current Awareness section to help you to quickly work out what you need to stay up-to-date with your healthcare interests:

 Current News - You can keep aware of the latest issues affecting healthcare and the NHS by using good quality newspapers, news websites, news TV programmes and radio news bulletins.

 Professional News - Receiving regular bulletins and updates from your professional organisations will help you to be aware of the latest developments and guidance affecting your profession. Organisations can use a variety of different communication tools, including social networking. You don't have to sign-up for all of them, pick the one(s) that most suit you.

 Latest Research - Keeping up-to-date with the latest research will mean that you want to develop in-depth knowledge of your particular topic, subject or research area. This may involve a variety of research sources:
  • latest published research
  • connecting with colleagues and researchers in your area of work / study
  • collaborating with colleagues
  • sharing with a wider community
