Thanks for all your helpful suggestions... I didn't manage to find the missing file, but lesson def learned for next time! I was given lots of 'helpful advice' for document management next time, so thought I'd share that:

* email the document to yourself at the end of the day (will be available on the server if your computer crashes, etc)

* Use 'save as', 'send to' 'briefcase function' or 'copy' when moving files accross, don't cut and paste.

* Have a back up. In a different place.

* Use the 'auto save' function in Word.

Thanks folks

Jo

[307341] Reimbursement of medical devices
http://www.freepint.com/go/b307341

Date:14/05/2008 09:41 am
Category:Company, Industry, Country and Product Research

I am looking to find out whether particular types of medical devices are reimbursable in various European Countries (UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy). Does anyone know of a central resource to be able to check this - or if not the country-specific authorities that would be able to help?

Thanks


Paula

Paula, the following may be of use:
Deloitte & Touche prepared a document for the EU in June 2003 called "Access to Assistive Technologies in the European Union" It has national specific information including national specific database and contact details which may require updating.

[308342] Images for the Intranet
http://www.freepint.com/go/b308342

Date:15/05/2008 03:02 pm

Hi all

We have a news section on our Intranet home page and we use the same old images we have been given rights to. We seem to struggle to find any pictures which we are allowed to use for this purpose.

Does anyone know of any sites where they allow you to add their images to an Intranet?

What does everyone else do for images on Intranets???

THANKS!

A couple of places I've worked have run staff photographic competitions and used the pictures on their intranets. In my experience this creates great interest, and provides some exciting and unique images.
