Survey results
We recently ran a survey on the Mental Elf to find out what the readers want from the site. Thanks to everyone who helped with that (we got over 300 responses, which was great).
"I would like to say how informative I find your service. It saves me time looking at new research or info when it is published as you usually have it in one place on your site. I have recommended it to many of my colleagues and they are in agreement that you certainly save us all time without the need to hunt around for published items."
Here’s what you told us:
- Most people use the email newsletter to keep up to date
- You rated the ‘ease of use’, ‘writing style’, ‘design’ and ‘subject coverage’ all ‘good’ to ‘excellent’
- You liked the sound of these new features:
- Guest blogs from leading experts
- Tools that allow you to link the Mental Elf to your CPD (continuing professional development)
- Mobile apps for iPhone and Android
We’re delighted that the Mental Elf received such positive feedback from our readers and we’ve started responding to your ideas about new features.
Guest blogs
We intend to publish regular guest blogs written by experts from around the world. There are two on the site already, so please have a read and let us know what you think:
- Does self-help treatment for anxiety disorders work?
- Can vitamin D supplementation help relieve the symptoms of depression?
CPD tools
We are working on ideas for CPD tools and hope to have something to share with you in the not too distant future.
Mobile apps
iPhone users can download the Mental Elf app now! It’s available at a reduced price of £0.69 for a limited period only, so please get it now to avoid crushing disappointment.
The Android app is in development and we hope to make it available over the Summer. We’ll announce it here when it’s ready.
