NVUG Mailing List

About

The NVUG list is a free subscription and un-moderated mailing list for users of In Practice Systems primary care clinical software -  Vision.

This mailing list is independent of the company and is and managed by Dr. Paul Miller, a general medical practitioner, Vision user and NVUG National Panel member working in Glasgow, Scotland.

The list is hosted on Yahoo Groups.  The Help Pages for Yahoo Groups gives more details on their service.

The list is not a means of reporting any problems with service from InPS. While representatives of the User Group and InPS may subscribe to the list, they are of course not obliged to act unless they are informed of problems through the usual channels.

The list is primarily a discussion forum to help the users of the software learn how to use it to its full potential. A selection of recent topics is available on the eNVUG list topics page.

Further details and advice on "Netiquette" can be found on these pages.

There is also a separate more technical discussion list eNVUGTECH
