MICROBIOLOGY BLOG FOR YOUR DISTRICT

CREATE YOUR OWN MICROBIOLOGY BLOG IN YOUR DISTRICT

The Zura Health Programme microbiology blog is an example of how microbiology and infection news can be shared between labs and hospitals in a district or region.

The different posts can be accessed from the sidebar on the right.

A blog can be used to keep colleagues aware of new infection problems, to update them on information, and as a contribution to continuing education and professional development.

If your hospital has internet access, creating and maintaining a blog is easy.

The two most convenient ways of creating a blog are in Google:

or Wordpress:

We hope you have found this blog interesting, and an encouragement to develop a microbiology/blog in your district. Just think how such a set up could have helped in the 2014/5 Ebola outbreak, to have  a network of communication and support between distant hospitals.

If you have ideas for new posts, or want to discuss ideas for a blog in your area, put some comments at the bottom of the post pages.
