GP looking for partnership in a DRUPAL General Practice site

Fri, 28/11/2008 - 22:46 — dfunkd
Dear Drupal UK, I hope this is the correct place to post this? I am a GP in Brighton and I have created a Drupal based portal/collaborative website for all members of General Practice to use. It's being used in Brighton, but I would like to improve it before it spreads too much. I have taken it to a point where it's very useful (with my basic skills), but I wish to develop this further and so I am looking for some guidance/partnership to progress. Someone more familiar with Drupal could be interested in helping me take this much further by forming a partnership. Any ideas/suggestions?. www.drlife.uk.com The screenshot guides/tours from the public accessible page should be able to give you more of an insight into the idea. (I learnt by starting a similar site with less functions in New Zealand when I lived there- www.drlife.co.nz) best wishes

Many, many....

I initially made it to be useful for myself, then other GPs asked to use it. Now I am receiving requests for specific OG functions for groups within General Practice who want to improve their group functioning in a way that no other medical site does. Also in a way that's responsive to users and evolves. I would like to create a more interactive Community feeling. I also know there's a need to help clinicians record, track and share their Continuing Medical Education for revalidation I am also involved in Care Pathway design and commissioning work where small group collaborate on projects with ideas and documents, and I know this can be done much better. Some of this work can lead to public facing content and some will be in draft form so needs to be private until finalised. I am also involved with some of the other local IT projects such as the Map of Medicine (www.mapofmedicine.com). Now I know that the DrLife site is useful in it's current form and there's demand for more, if I was going to facilitate this demand it would have to be in a more robust/innovative and responsive way than I do at present.
