Looks like another appearance of the "for-doctors-by-doctors"
phenomenon, where they support a copycat product purely because it is
run by medics

We've been approached by other staff at our Trust to attend a
presentation organised by a company called Doccom. Their product appears
to be a sort of mix between Linked In and Facebook for healthcare staff.
Its website gives the impression that it is free. If this is the case I
am surprised that a company rep can spare the time to organise a
presentation, but this may be down to the advertising potential of the
site. Does anybody have any knowledge of this service and, if so, is
able to offer any feedback about the product?
