Hi Colleagues , I just thought you maybe interested in this website-very useful for health /medical professionals , students etc .. http://www.labtestsonline.org.au/ labtestsonline.org.au - online independent pathology resource labtestsonline.org.au is a free, non-commercial website providing independent information about pathology testing. It attracts about 88,000 visits a month from the public, medical professionals and students. (See breakdown below.) Information is prepared by pathologists and scientists working in pathology laboratories and reviewed by an editorial board. Topics include: pathology tests, diseases and clinical conditions, appropriate screening for disease, and specimen collection and processing, as well a general overview of pathology laboratories, the way they work and the people who work in them. Recent nationwide research has highlighted that medical and health professionals (doctors, nurses, practice managers, pathology staff and others) are finding the site useful as an instantly-accessible, easy-to-understand, yet authoritative, accurate and up-to-date pathology resource. Students also emerged as a key user group. * Patients and carers - 49 per cent * Doctors and health professionals - 32 per cent * Students and other researchers- 19 per cent The website has been developed by the Australasian Association of Clinical Biochemists (AACB) with support from the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) to address a perceived paucity of trustworthy, impartial internet information on pathology suitable for a general audience. It has been funded under the Quality Use of Pathology Program of the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing. An app is under development and due for release in the second half of 2012. The site is accredited by and complies with the international standards of the Health On the Net (HON) foundation. labtestsonline.org.au is part of an international network of similar sites. There are now 17 sites world-wide in 14 languages. Members of the labtestsonline.org.au management and editorial boards can be available to speak to groups. Support material can be provided.
