2nd Edition
The Essential Guide to the Internet for Health Professionals
Health and social care services are responsible for the delivery of skilled and high-quality care to their patients and clients. Nowhere are these objectives more important than in the fields of nursing, midwifery, radiography, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, health promotion, and social work. And one important quality standard in health care is evidence-based information and best practice. The Internet is a subject on which many people are, let’s face it, blissful innocents. I urge you to take the Internet seriously and to discover what is most relevant and useful for your practice – The Essential Guide to the Internet for Health Professionals is a practical means towards that end.
The second edition contains new information to help you find your way around the Internet and updates the original book with more detail on the clear framework of the original edition. It’s a how-to book to get you going and save you time – a guide to those parts of cyberspace that provide particularly relevant evidence.

Viewed against such exacting standards I have to concede, albeit reluctantly, that this book passes the test –almost with flying colours. The author, a senior lecturer at Christ Church College, Canterbury, introduces a wide range of educational uses of the internet, from getting online and searching for information to creating your own web pages.
