Klappentext

PDAs (or Personal Digital Assistants for the uninitiated) are becoming an ever more useful tool in the life of a busy doctor. Not only can they be used to organise your life and deal with e-mails, you can now also purchase and download medical texts for use as a reference on ward rounds or during consultations. This handbook, written by two expert-user doctors, guides you through the technology, its features and what's available to buy or as a free download. It also explains how best to make use of your PDA in the medical context to ensure you maximise your professional efficiency and, perhaps more importantly, increase your free time. Mohammad Al-Ubaydli and Chris Paton hold annual workshops with the Royal Society of Medicine's Young Fellows committee, on the subject of PDAs in healthcare. Many of their findings in this book have been drawn from their experiences in these workshops. Chris Paton also runs dynamic online training courses, the perfect accompaniment to this title.
