Apologies for cross posting

I am doing a talk in September on the "Doctor's Desktop", ie those
programmes which GP's regularly use on their consulting room terminal. I
would be grateful if the list could help me make my list as comprehensive as
possible. I will contact all somerset GP's for a local survey, but can you
please add to the list any programmes you feel should be included, and any
www addresses you "REALLY"  have used in the consultation.

Many thanks


Programmes:-

Clinical System Internet Explorer  (Internet and Intranet)
eBNF DTB MeReC
Cardioview 3000 (ECG)
Best evidence 3
Illustrated Dermatology
Oxford Clinical Mentor/patient information software
Oxford Textbook of Surgery
Oxford Textbook of Medicine
Infectious Diseases CDROM
Nelson Paediatrics
eMims  (?anyone use this?)
MiQuest (?anyone use this on their consulting room pc?)

Microsoft Office



WWW Addresses (or NHS net):-
NHSnet: Local trust waiting times (does anyone actually do this?)
Travax, travel advice: www.axl.co.uk/scieh/travax/TvxHome.htm
Medline (various)
Cochrane http://www.update-software.com/ccweb/
Netting the evidence (EBM) http://www.shef.ac.uk/~scharr/ir/netting.html
Bandolier http://www.jr2.ox.ac.uk/Bandolier/
Trip (EBM) http://www.gwent.nhs.gov.uk/trip/

Does anyone browse the journals from their consulting room  (and how do you
get time??)

What intranet pages do you use: (see my list of possibles at
http://www.irnham.demon.co.uk/interest.htm)
Local consultant referral guidelines (eg Somerset Pink book)
CHD Risk calculator eg Chris Burtons downloadable version
(http://www.btinternet.com/~chrisburton/lipids.htm) or
http://www.irnham.demon.co.uk/chd.htm


What should be on a portable system for visits?
Clinical system or patient summary
eBNF or eMims

Are there other resources you might use during a registrar tutorial??

Please add freely, but for suggestions to qualify it must be likely that
GP's might access it from the consulting room, either in the consulting room
or after a morning list.
