Thanks Muir
Look forward to getting that communication. On another point, I have been at
the Royal College of Surgeons Informaics Symposium for the last couple of
days. We had a very interesting presentation regarding the map of medicine
which apperently the Southern Cluster has a license agreement to use. Are
you aware of anyone wishing to pilot its use in a routine setting?. We would
be interested to locally customising it, and linkin it in to our pathology
handbook which already links to lab tests online.
Cheers
Jojn
