How to use this site

There are a number of features on this site that are briefly explained here. 

Search

You can search for content on any page of our website by typing a word into the search box at the top of the page and clicking on the "search" button next to the search box. You can do more complex searches, for example including date ranges, from the advanced search page.  This page is available by clicking the advanced search link that is next to the search box.

Login or register

Some parts of our website are not available without being registered and logged in.
Registration

It is free to register and will take you just a short time. You will be asked for contact information and some professional details, such as your qualifications. 

RNID staff members or ASLI members will be asked for a verification code. If you do not have a verification code email us. If you have been given two codes because you are a member of both RNID staff and ASLI, you should use the RNID code.

Register online now.

Updating your details

You can update details held on our site at any time by logging into the my account area. To request changes to your RNID or ASLI memberships you will need to contact them directly.

Login

You can login at any time using the login or register link at the top of every page; you will be asked for the email address and password you registered. The site will ask you to login, if you are not already logged in, when you try to enter a protected part of the site.

Forgotten password

If you have forgotten your password the site can email a password reminder to your registered email.  Sometimes the password reminder email is caught in your junk filters so check there if you have been waiting for a long time.  Request a password reminder. (external link)

Email this page

You can use the 'email this page' feature to send a link from a particular page on our website to an email account.  This feature is useful if you want to remember to read something or if you want to share something you've seen with another person.

Print this page

You can print any page from our website using the 'print this page' link on the right hand side.  This will send a printer friendly version to your printer, your printer software will ask for confirmation and any other details as usual.  The printer friendly version is formatted so the content is presented without any website navigation.

Contact us form

The contact us form is linked on the right hand side of every page.  You can use this form to contact the pd4me team with any questions.  If you are not logged in you will be asked to insert your email address and name.  Please try to include all the important points in the 'your enquiry' box so we can get back to you quickly.

Submit an article

Our website is intended to encourage knowledge sharing and on many pages we invite you to submit articles that can be added to pd4me. On the right hand side you will see 'submit a dilemma', 'submit an exercise' and 'submit an article' links that will take you to an electronic form. 

How to write your articles

Within the site we have guides on the style and format to use in any articles you would like to submit.  These guides are linked from the electronic forms used for submitting. For information on copyright see our terms and conditions.

Recommend a resource

If you know of a resource you think would be useful you can email us to let us know.  The resource could be a website, a book, CD or anything else.  We can't guarantee we will be able to include the resource but we are always interested in hearing about new resources.

Forums

The forums are provided as a way for you to share professional knowledge and learning. If you would like to see a forum dedicated to a particular subject then contact us with a forum suggestion.

To make full use of the forums you will need to be logged in.  Once you're logged in you will be able to post your own discussion topics or reply to other people. Any postings you make will be marked with your full name as taken from your my account details.

If you find a posting that breaks our forum rules please email the pd4me team.
