The UKHPHL E-mail Discussion Group
-
is a discussion,
information and support network for health professionals with hearing loss.
-
We welcome anyone with any
degree of hearing loss who is, or is considering training to become, a
health professional in any discipline.
-
We also welcome those with
close involvement with health professionals with hearing loss, for example
health professionals working with the D/deaf and hard of hearing, those in
departments of education and training and professional bodies, occupational
health and disability officers.
-
We also recommend the
website and forum
of the Association of Medical Professionals
with Hearing Losses. Membership is international, most being in the USA.
With a longer history of disability access in the USA than in the UK, they
are a rich source of experience.
-
Some information, such as
funding, legislation, occupational health services, training courses and
equipment supply varies between countries so the ukhphl e-mail group can be
a forum to share this information. It is also an opportunity to build a
supportive network because sometimes it can be helpful to know people closer
to home.
-

Confidentiality
Messages and e-mail addresses are not made available to non-members. If you
join the group, your own e-mail address will be visible to other members only if
you post a message. Your e-mail address is otherwise visible only to the group
manager for administrative purposes and will be kept confidential.

How to join - automated process
It's very easy to join the group. The automated process sends a couple of
mails to you. You reply to one of them and receive a welcome message. The
automated mails have a lot of extra information in them, much of which can
safely be ignored if you find it confusing!
For step by step instructions, read on ...
subscribe ukhphl
subscribe ukhphl e-mail_address_you_want_to_use
-
Two e-mails will
automatically be sent to the e-mail address you want to subscribe.
-
The important one is the confirmation
message which explains how to confirm your subscription.
-
It tells you to reply to majordomo{at}hphl.org.uk
leaving only the confirmation code it gives you in the body of the mail.
(This process is to prevent someone subscribing you maliciously to many
lists.)
-
The other e-mail sent you
is the "results" mail. For most purposes, you can safely
ignore it. For the keen, it has more information about the commands used by
the e-mail group software.
-
If your confirmation e-mail
went through successfully, you will be sent an automatic welcome
message which includes information about how to post messages to the group.
-
If you do not receive the
welcome message, please contact me.

How to join - the easy way!
If you do not feel confident doing this yourself or have problems with it,
please feel free to contact me and I will join you to
the group as soon as I can. This will usually be within 24 hours.
|
To leave e-mail group
If you ever want to remove yourself from the e-mail group, you can send mail
to majordomo{at}hphl.org.uk with the following command in the body of your email
message:
unsubscribe ukhphl
or from another account, besides the one you subscribed to the group.
unsubscribe ukhphl your_subscribed_e-mail_address
As with the automated subscription process, you will be sent a confirmation
request mail.
