Great to hear of your interest.
Whilst EBOC is concentrating on acute internal medical problems to start
with, we don't plan to limit ourselves to these narrow confines!
We've set up a EBH searching, appraisal and publication process that is
independent of the content. Since it is electronically-based, there is
little effort needed to add new material.
If you are interested, I'd be keen to explore how CATs for EB Nursing could
be tackled, and who might be interested in helping out. Hopefully this will
save you trying to reinvent the wheel.
Cheers
Chris Ball
