NMN ON THE ROAD!

Taking the National Management Network out on the road and into regions across the UK.

(no sound card? then just read the text below...)

"Hi, this is Józefa on the road, I am on the M40 on my way to Walsall Teaching PCT to meet up with a fellow colleague, Harjinder (Regional Co-ordinator) with whom I am working to establish the very first Regional Management Network (RMN) in the West Midlands. This is very exciting for both of us and this is also my very first audiopost 'on the road', so I am not sure what the sound quality is like and hope that it is reasonably audible and though I am stationery whilst making this call I am still hands-free!

Well today we are going to put the final touches to the first regional 'gathering event' which will be hosted in Birmingham on 20th July [amended], hopefully we will have a good turn out from the 175 interested participants from the region and this number will grow after our first 'gathering'.

I think that is it for the moment and I should really get started again and concentrate on where I am going so as not to take a wrong turn. More news from NMN on the road very soon."

CAN'T HEAR THE AUDIOPOST?

Turn up your volume on your computer to hear this audio post.

"Please don't think you are missing out if you cannot get the audiopost to work in your organisation, some have firewalls that prevent this from playing on your machine or you might not have a sound card or Windows media player. Even without this you can still read the same information in the transcript that is always offered below the audio post.

Thank you to those who have contacted me about this blog, for some people it is a new way of communicating and might take a little getting used to. We might try it for a few months until the 'official' discussion forum is up and running on the IHM website, and then decide if we want to keep it or not.

For now - join me in learning about the newest ways to communicate with lots of healthcare managers across the UK. "

WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL MANAGEMENT NETWORK

Turn up your volume on your computer to hear this post or read the text below.

"Hello and welcome to Apogee Reflections [renamed], a purpose built blog to support the National Management Network. If you have got this far then congratulations, you are in at the start of a really exciting initiative that is being funded by the Department of Health and is project managed by the Institute of Healthcare Management.

This weblog is being used as a temporary interim measure whilst the IHM updates its own website with a special area for all National Management Network participants. We may decide to keep this going once the new discussion forum is in place just as a dedicated space to 'reflect' upon management issues raised elsewhere. This is a test post so come back again very soon"
