Like the tube we try and run a regular service. Also like the tube we might sometimes get behind.
There is a constant flow of interesting stuff arriving in the KLS and this series of regular(ish) items will try and pick out some of the more interesting ones.
Please feel free to suggest things you think we should cover - or even write a review of something yourself and send it along to alan.fricker@newhamhealth.nhs.uk
As a starter I give you what may seem a rather old fashioned choice "Mosby's dictionary of medicine, nursing and health professions" . Why use a paper dictionary when you can just use "define:whatever" in Google (Following the link may give you an indication!)? Or indeed use an online medical dictionary search (currently part way down the main National Library for Health page).
Well having a scan of this exemplary dictionary you will find:
- Crystal clear definitions you can rely on
- A balance between technical and non technical language (ie you won't need a dictionary to use the dictionary)
- Brilliant illustrations and photos (including a colour atlas of anatomy)
Next time you are after a definition - give it a look. Or give us a call (0207 363 8016) and we will gladly have a look on your behalf. You are likely to find it gives you better results quicker than a web search.
