10. The most sought after benefits of a portal are to save time and accelerate work,
ease the dissemination of work and deepen interactions/strengthen work
Mobile access is key to many in terms of technical
features as is the ability to download resources and work offline.
Top priority for support in doing work is quick access to reference
materials on straightforward procedures and best practices, followed
by timely second opinions from experts on challenging cases.

11. Engaging online would be helpful to:
!
“Access the information I require from available sources, as
everyone is so busy with their own work”
!
“Facilitate better communication in international discussions”
!
“Devise tools to evaluate an observer-ship programme”
!
“Create a training curriculum for nurse practitioners”
