NEW The FoNS Disseminations Series: Improvement Insights

Since 2002, the FoNS Dissemination Series (ISSN 1478-4106) has provided a four page report of innovative projects undertaken by teams supported by FoNS (Volumes 1-5). Whilst these reports are very popular, we know that healthcare practitioners are very busy and feedback from readers indicated that a one page summary with key implications for practice would be extremely useful. In response, in December 2011 (Volume 6 onwards) we launched the new FoNS Dissemination Series: Improvement Insights (online ISSN 2049-1484).

We hope that you will be inspired by reading more about the experiences and learning of practitioners and the outcomes for patients and practice that have been shared. All the reports remain free to download and we would encourage you to share them with your colleagues. You can browse through the project titles using the A-Z indexing, or search the volumes using keywords or the tagcloud.
