CHILD2015

Child Healthcare Information and Learning Discussion group

THE CHILD2015 GOAL

By 2015, every child worldwide will have access to an informed healthcare provider

THE CHILD2015 DISCUSSION GROUP

The Group offers you an independent forum to stimulate debate and propose pragmatic solutions for improving child healthcare worldwide. The focus is on the information and learning needs of healthcare providers at the local level: households and communities; primary health workers; health professionals working in district hospital facilities.

The Group is open to anyone with an interest in improving child healthcare in developing countries.

HOW DO I JOIN THE GROUP?

Please email CHILD2015-admin@dgroups.org stating that you would like to join CHILD2015.

We encourage you to supply some details about yourself for your personal CHILD2015 PROFILE. This will be added to the end of any messages that you post, unless you request otherwise, so that members can appreciate “where you are coming from” and also identify others with similar interests to themselves.

In your e-mail, please tell us:

  • your name
  • your qualifications and experience
  • the organisation you work for
  • which country you are based in
  • your professional interests
  • any other information that you feel is relevant to the Group

With your permission, your CHILD2015 PROFILE will also be added to the CHILD2015 Members Directory, an online resource to facilitate communications.

HOW DO I POST A DISCUSSION GROUP MESSAGE?

It’s easy! Just send your message to CHILD2015@dgroups.org

WHAT TO POST

We welcome all postings, even if controversial, provided that they are relevant to the CHILD2015 purpose: Working towards a future where every child has access to an informed healthcare provider. (The term 'healthcare provider' here includes any provider of child healthcare, including mothers/fathers/family carers; primary health workers; district-level health professionals; and child health specialists.)

Examples of discussion topics include (but are not restricted to):

  • how to identify the information and learning needs of healthcare providers
  • how to increase the availability and use of healthcare information and knowledge
  • recommended reference and learning materials for healthcare providers

CHILD2015 is also a great way to make contacts and collaborations; let people know about your activities and publications; and ask for help and advice.

When you reply to messages from other members, please address your message to the whole group if your reply is likely to be of interest to other subscribers.

English is the main language of CHILD2015. Messages in French are also welcome and will be forwarded to the list together with an English translation by the CHILD2015 team. We aim to accommodate other languages in the future.

WHAT NOT TO POST

To preserve the quality and integrity of the forum please do not post:

  • messages that are inappropriate to the purpose of CHILD2015
  • personal messages to other Discussion Group members
  • messages of a defamatory nature or that may cause offence
  • commercial messages, promoting goods or services for profit
  • messages advertising vacant positions or asking for funding
  • attachments: CHILD2015 carries plain text only

NB. Unsuitable messages will be removed by the moderator.

If you would like to discuss child health issues that are unrelated to 'information and learning', please contact the moderator, who will help point you to other email lists and resources that focus on your subject.

HOW DO I VIEW ARCHIVE POSTINGS?

Just go to www.dgroups.org/groups/CHILD2015/ and click on 'Messages'. The archive is freely available to members and non-members.
