Improved access to online guidance means there is less of a need for us to distribute CDROMS, so we are not planning to produce any further editions of the Raising the Standards CD.

We will upload new guidance documents, presentations etc relating to Acute Inpatient care onto this page. There are other sites that also provide a growing resource of guidance:

CSIP Virtual Ward on http://www.virtualward.org.uk/

CSIP Knowledge Community on http://kc.csip.org.uk/

Department of Health on http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/index.htm
