  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. Whilst 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.

  Most new Internet users find it difficult to locate what they want - or even to find out how to get started. Many end up buying a book on computers, another on modems, and yet another on the Internet, without locating exactly the information they need. There are a number of Internet guides available. However, this book is different in that it deals specifically with the medical resources and bulletin boards, and it provides a foundation in the art of getting computers to talk to each other before even mentioning the Internet. Much of the book is presented in simple question and answer style. The doctor who would like to get involved, but has no understanding of what a modem is or does, or where to get the equipment, will find the answers in this book.
