NHS Choices - Free, high quality content for local councils

Supported by Socitm Insight and the Better connected team, the NHS Choices team is hosting a series of free half day events around the country for local authority web managers and editors.

The events will explore what content is available from NHS Choices (eg the latest advice on Swine Flu, or where to find a local GP) and how to use this material for the benefit of council website users (there's a range of options including XML feeds, widgets, applications etc). There will also be an update from Socitm Insight about current issues facing web managers to be covered in Better connected 2010 (publication 1 March).

More details about content from NHS Choices can be found at http://www.nhs.uk/nhscwebservices/Pages/Localauthorities.aspx.

Representatives from Directgov and Business Link will also be on hand at these events to discuss the increasingly important issue of collaboration with these other central government 'supersites'.

We do hope that you can attend.
