High quality health information is the best medicine available. The Internet unlocks the door to a wealth of resources, far greater than any library can hope to provide. But patients, doctors and health care professionals all face the problem of finding high quality and relevant information. This book solves that problem by introducing you to the wealth of health information specific to your needs. This means that you can become more informed about your health and play a more active role in the health care process.

The Patient's Internet Handbook gives practical advice on

	how to connect to, and use, the Internet
	searching the web
	using medical databases
	discussion lists and newsgroups
	accessing NHS information
	assessing the quality of health information
	making the most of your consultation
