Which User are you? Explaining the User Levels on MUROnline
So you have decided to visit us on MUROnline at www.medicines-use-review.co.uk. You are exploring the site and you are wondering ‘why should I register?’.
Well, we will try and explain:
There are four registration levels you should be aware of. You will have to decide which one you are. We will use the ‘home’ analogy to illustrate the user levels.
MUROnline (at www.medicines-use-review.co.uk) is the home of the MUR Evangelist. If you want a room in that house, you must first register and then request to be an MUR Evangelist by agreeing with the 4-point pledge. This is the highest user level. Once your details have been verified, you can pretty much use all the facilities available on the website. As of the BETA release, you can start to submit articles relating to your experiences of MUR. You may sign your articles anonymously or with your full name. You may also want to restrict who can view your articles to validated users only. Moreover you can start to use your evangelist or ‘EV’ code. Use this to inform employers that you have signed up to this unique family of pro-active pharmacists. Ask them to go to www.murevangelist.co.uk to find out more about you. You can ask us to include as much or as little information about yourself on these pages. Also as an MUR Evangelist, you are automatically registered to receive pharmacy bookings from employers (Findapharmacist facility). What we do is provide a facility whereby the employer can contact you. The employer requests the services of an MUR Evangelist online and we simply forward that request to you either by e-mail or by you logging on to a special area of the website. It is entirely up to you to follow up the request. If you like the job being offered, just contact the employer directly. Do this as soon as you can, as the job is open to all the rest of the evangelists in the house. The jobs are offered on a first come, first served basis. That’s not all, we hope to build a network of online resources, some only available to MUR Evangelists and/or other users.
Now, lets just say you are a visitor. You walk past the home of the MUR Evangelist and you think: ‘I like the design of the house’ or maybe you think ‘I’ll like a room in the house one day’ or you think ‘I wonder what they are excited about in that house’. That’s OK. The MUR Evangelists have nothing to hide. We invite you to come in and have a look. You can have a look in a number of ways. This brings us to the other user levels on MUR Online. When you first register on MUROnline, you are designated a Registered User. This allows you limited access to some of the resources on our website. As we build more of these resources, we will determine which resources you can access. Being a Registered user is like being invited into the grounds on which the home is built. You enjoy the landscaped garden, enjoy the superb architecture of the building and we may even put up a show in the garden to tantalise your taste buds. Unfortunately, however, you cannot come in! We need to know who you are before you can come in. This is not because we are some secret cult…Oh no! This is just simple courtesy. If you want to be allowed in (and most people are allowed in), we need to be able to validate your identity. If we are able to do this, then your user level will be upgraded to a Validated User. As a Validated User you are privy to our discussions on MUROnline. The only major restrictions is that you are not allowed to submit articles and you are not contacted through the ‘findapharmacist’ facility. You may however, use a lot of the other features of the website. You may be a validated user if you are a pharmacy student (at University), a pre-registration pharmacist, a doctor, a booker for a pharmacy chain or independent. Lay members of the public may choose to be validated users of our site but we attach a strong caveat to this. Information encountered on the site are for qualified professional users only and must not be a substitute for professional judgement. Always contact your local pharmacist or doctor for professional advice. Now if you are a Pharmacist but not an MUR Evangelist then you will be designated a Pharmacist provided we can verify your identity. We like to know who you are. You may not want to be an MUR Evangelist because you do not work in community pharmacy but just want to keep up with what the MUR Evangelists are talking about. You may even have important information you wish to communicate to the MUR Evangelists to enable them give better advice to their customers e.g. PCT Pharmacist describing local prescribing trends and recommendations or an hospital pharmacist describing the common problems to be aware of etc.
Now you see. There is space for everyone. In summary, there are 4 user levels on MUROnline and they are:
- MUR Evangelist
- Pharmacist
- Validated User; and
- Registered User.
