Excellent free information & advice on over 180 common medical conditions

Good stuff!  The British Medical Journal Group have just launched their Evidence Centre.  It's a fine evidence-based resource providing excellent information for doctors, patients and organizations.  Most of the services however seem to cost money to access.  The Best Health resource for patients, for example, costs £9.99 plus VAT for a 30 day subscription (or £3.00 plus VAT to look at information on a single condition).  The good news for searches to the Best Health resource from the UK and Republic of Ireland is that Boots have linked with the BMJ Group to give access to this service free of charge.  Visit Ask Boots to see how helpful this can be.  Key features include:

  • In-depth information on more than 180 common conditions
  • Evaluation of over 1500 treatments
  • Assessment of 23 common operations and tests
  • Decision-support guidelines to help patients assess their options
  • Search tips to help them navigate to the right information
  • Regular updates to include new evidence and drug guidelines
