Medicine and the Internet: Introducing Online Resources and Terminology

Synopsis

This is an updated version of the book "Medicine and the Internet" (OUP 1995). Designed for anyone in the medical professions who would like to get started on the Internet, or to use it more effectively, this edition contains new chapters on the Internet's role in telemedicine and on how to become an Internet provider yourself. nWhilst the book is intended for hospital doctors, general practitioners, nurses, medical and nursing students, and all those involved in health promotion, it should also be of use to NHS information technology departments, support groups, medical librarians, health service managers, and anyone with a medical interest who wishes to access the Internet for research or fun. It should appeal to established users and the computer illiterate alike.
