New Health Education Website
A new health education resources website, HealthEd, was launched recently. It enables all the Government's public health education resources to be accessed at one website. The site, at www.healthed.govt.nz, is a register of NZ health education resources. There are more than 350 health education titles from the national health catalogue on the database, and it's planned to add titles from other health organisations.
The website is organised by categories such as Maori health, sexual health and food safety. Users could search for resources by clicking on "Health Category" or by entering a word or phrase. For example, a search for Smokefree will produce a list of 57 different items, from pamphlets to videos, and posters in English and Maori. A click on the title reveals the full details.
The site is designed mainly for use by health professionals, although the public can access it and request resources. The supply of resources listed on the site is managed by a variety of health providers around the country. Users select their local health provider when requesting titles.
