The New CASH Netvibes Portal

We are pleased to announce that CASH (the Current Awareness Service for Health) has developed a Netvibes Portal, complete with email alerts for each of the newsfeeds and current awareness bulletins. The portal is freely available and can be accessed using the following URL: http://www.netvibes.com/keeping-up-to-date#Home.

The aim of the portal is to enable users to easily access the content of the CASH Database without needing to subscribe to it as a newsfeed. Users also have the option to subscribe to up to 5 of the newsfeeds as a daily email alert.

The portal also enables users to subscribe to their favourite current awareness bulletins on TIN. Subscribers receive an email alert whenever a new issue of the bulletin becomes available. Again, there is a limit of 5 email alerts per user, including those for the newsfeeds.

The number of bulletins on TIN has grown substantially over the last six months. There are now over 30 bulletins on a range of specialist topic areas across Primary Care, Secondary Care and Mental Health. To find out more about the bulletins and to view the full bulletin menu, please visit the TIN website: http://www.tin.nhs.uk/welcome/keeping-up-to-date/bulletin-menu/.
