Background The National Geriatric Programme(NGP), run by the Norwegian Board of Health, in 1995 made the decision to establish a National Geriatric Dissemination Centre. The center is located at Deaconess Hospital, Haraldsplass in Bergen. The National Geriatric Dissemination Centre(NFG) duties are to carry out the main objectives for the former Geriatric Programme, and hence contribute to the fulfilment of the programme: Increase the reputation in the field of geriatrics, improve networks and cooperation within elderly care in Norway to the best of elderly who are ill and have functional impairments. Network NFG has established a geriatric network by registering professionals and institutions within the discipline of geriatrics and the care of elderly in in public health services. Dissemination and communication NFG publishes the newsletter GERONIUS six times a year. It provides information from the field of geriatrics and is also a tool of information and communication for health professionals. To be able to disseminate knowledge and competence, NFG uses computer-based communications systems. This also enables us to receive information from all professional staff working in the field of geriatrics and gerontology. Literature service NFG's literature services perform literature searches using a wide variety of information resources. NFG is also producing multidisciplinary bibliographies focusing on different subjects within the field of geriatrics. Target group Our target group includes the following professionals and fields: All categories of health personnel in hospitals and specialized health care services/institutions where elderly people are the main users of services health care personnel within the community health care services for the elderly professionals who are teaching and/or working with professional development and research within the field of geriatrics and elderly care other relevant groups By contacting NFG you will get the answers to who is doing what and where? where can I get the information I need within geriatrics and elderly care in Norway?
