From: UK medical/ health care library community / information workers [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Louise Wann Sent: 10 October 2014 15:40 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: DynaMed Dear Colleagues, Earlier this year our library subscribed to the DynaMed point of care tool and recently I have been on a drive to promote it, in particular to the new trainee doctors. Today I received an email from one of our senior pharmacists who is concerned that DynaMed is American biased and as such that a lot of its content is not be relevant to practice in the UK. I'm aware of the research published in the BMJ in 2011 and the fact that the RCGP has DynaMed listed as an accredited educational activity provider, but before I reply I was wondering whether other libraries have received such feedback. If so how did you respond? Any advice gratefully received!
