Leprosy Mailing List – March 22nd, 2007
Ref.: Essential
Leprosy texts (see attachment)
From:
Prickett I., London, UK
Dear Colleagues,
My name is Imogen Prickett. I recently joined the ILEP
Secretariat in London as the Technical and Information Coordinator.
Thank you to all those
contributors who sent comments in response to the ILEP Technical
Commission’s (ITC) request concerning the requirement for a new or
revised textbook (posted on the Leprosy Mailing list, 21 July 2006). After reviewing the feedback,
there was no consensus and the ITC decided that there is no clear need
for a new or revised text book. It
considered that sufficient teaching and learning material exists, but
that greater efforts are required to promote the use and adaptation of
this material.
However, the ITC would like
to include on the ILEP website, a Grid of Essential texts for various
groups of people working in the field of leprosy. This list will
include specific chapters from more general books. The plan
is to prepare a master grid for English language publications, and
then also to prepare grids comprising material in Portuguese, French
and Spanish. Suggestions from the Leprosy community are welcome
regarding suitable material for inclusion in these grids.
Please find attached the current version of the
Grid of Essential texts, which is also posted on the ILEP website.
Regards,
Imogen
