"Whether you're a patient or a health professional, The Patient's Internet Handbook can guide you through the internet's seven million websites to find quality health information at the touch of a button".

The Pharmaceutical Journal, Vol. 269, June, 2002
"The book is well written and a valuable resource for both patients and health professionals. Patients are increasingly challenging pharmacists with information they have found on the internet. This is an essential reference source for pharmacists. It will assist in both the location of reliable sources of health information, and also in education and assisting patients to evaluate health information on the internet."

Claire Rayner, President of the Patients Association
"To swim successfully in the huge ocean of medical information that is out there on the Internet you definitely need webbed fingers! This superb book will be those webbed fingers that will get you through the tangle of information quickly, successfully and rewardingly."

Journal of Integrated Care Pathways, May 2002,
'I can play games on the Internet, but I am certainly no whiz kid and anything technical would simply floor me. I was very pleasantly surprised as I read 'The Patient's Internet Handbook'; here was a book for someone just like me....a useful reference book to have within a family library. I have no hesitation in recommending this book.'
