BOA Hosting of Guideline, Protocol and Solution Sharing
Many guidelines and directives are being generated centrally and are being cascaded out to us all. However, there are also many solutions being produced locally. Rather than re-inventing what has been solved elsewhere we should unashamedly plagiarise.
To allow this we will host on the BOA website a repository of documents that have been submitted for sharing. We are not intending to vet, co-badge or in anyway approve, but rather give all of us access to templates that we may choose to aid in reaching our own solutions.
As material is sent to us we will develop an index and categories so that it is easier to find what you seek. Any contributions for this should be sent to policy@boa.ac.uk. As the BOA site is open access be aware that whatever is posted will be in the public domain.
We will also have a requests sections, so that if you seek a guideline on any particular area it can be posted here to prompt anyone with a solution to respond. If you would like to request guidance please email policy@boa.ac.uk with the details of your request.
Whilst we take the pursuit of clinical excellence very seriously, we also create an atmosphere where our members can develop their own professional and social relationships across the UK. Why not join us and be part of something bigger.
