HI all
I thought that this study would be of interest. It is an American study but I guess some of the outcomes would be of interest in the UK too.
Features of Effective Medical Knowledge Resources to Support Point of Care Learning: A Focus Group Study
PLOS one November 25, 2013 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0080318
"We identified nine features that influence users' selection of knowledge resources, namely efficiency (with sub-features of comprehensiveness, searchability, and brevity), integration with clinical workflow, credibility, user familiarity, capacity to identify a human expert, reflection of local care processes, optimization for the clinical question (e.g., diagnosis, treatment options, drug side effect), currency, and ability to support patient education. No single existing resource exemplifies all of these features."
