The site brings together into one place all the information that members need to know about e-HLbc resources, trials, membership, governance, news, and events. The site also features a spiffy new layout and improved navigation and usability. It has been designed through a structured process that included extensive user consultation and an Expressions of Interest process to select the design firm.

I recently received a request from one of our environmental health inspectors for an urgent search for any scientific evidence on infection control guidelines for body piercing/tattoo establishments. The health inspector hoped to find research illustrating the potential for disease transmission and cross contamination in tattoo establishments due to insufficient hand washing sinks. With e-HLbc as a tool, I was able to quickly find several articles relevant to this question and email our health inspector the articles that same day. She was very pleased with the quick turnaround time that enabled her to respond to the problem.
