Abstract
Patient UK http://www.patient.co.uk/ has a series of informational sections including “Health and Diseases,” an A to Z listing of conditions holding 728 leaflets. Most general practitioners in the United Kingdom have these leaflets on their computer to print out for patients during consultations. The website is currently developing audio versions of these leaflets. Also on offer are drug information leaflets under the “Medicines” heading, while under “Reference Articles” is a page entitled “PatientPlus” that offers more in-depth information that they say “is used daily by UK medical professionals, such as your general practitioner or practice nurse.” The website offers a great service to patients and is an excellent support to the physician. The listing is rounded off with a useful “What's New” page.This content is limited to qualifying members.
