GP Federation Distribution List Nightmare
Does anyone know of a app/website/product that could help deliver the following functionality…(in the distribution list space)
My GP federation has 200 + GPs 100 nurses/HCAs plenty of managers and admin people. We have a real issue with distribution lists. Although some distribution lists exist they are rarely up to date and loads of people just add every name they can think of into emails and newsletters so some of the time - people emails get send to people who have left and sometimes/often people who dont want emails get them.
What we would like is a site where our members register - and put in their practice - their role - their interests.. e.g. PM at Surgery X. or IIF lead at surgery Y or interested in CVD or Lead for Early Cancer etc.. The GP fed could then act as a mail distributor… so for example - we were speaking to the Christie hospital recently and they would like to send out their newsletter - but they don’t want to bombard everyone with it - they want ideally each practice to get one and any cancer leads/or interested parties to get it - for IG reasons we don’t want to keep giving out peoples emails - we want to manage that so they send our comms person a newsletter and we send it out to the right people. those people get the ability to click on the site and change their roles/subscriptions whenever they want.. we can see make sure that every practice/lead is getting the info they need..
Ideally we might keep a central repository of newsletters attachments so 1. new starters can see old stuff 2. we arent filling up inboxes we send links to a central copy.
We think this might improve comms in our Fed a lot getting the right info to the right people and not clogging up others inboxes..
Anyone know anything that will do this? someone has suggested Mailchimp but that seems more aimed at companies sending advertising to customers - I may be wrong.
