Staff, students and trainee nurses at Loughborough Hospital are
getting hands on experience of the use of the World Wide Web thanks to a
leading local company.Not everyone has a computer nor do they understand the way in
which the Internet can be used to gain knowledge. So when the hospital on
Epinal Way connected the computer in its resource room to the Internet, several
members of staff were unsure of how they could use it to get the maximum
benefit from the mass of information available on the web.An approach to AstraZeneca R&D Charnwood, the medicines
research and development company, provided the answer. The company is providing
training sessions for staff to show them how to access the Internet and how to
find their way around sites of interest to their work and studies.Jo Nicholls, Loughborough Hospital's Support Services Manager,
said: "We are very grateful to AstraZeneca and its staff who came to the
hospital to give people here the insight they needed on how the Internet could
be accessed and used to their advantage."Ends
