Health-related on line resources

I find it fascinating to see how much different stuff is available on line. From the Resource Shelf:

The Health Management Specialist Collection is a free, web-based library of high quality information resources. It is aimed at all healthcare professionals with a management role or interest. The site has a growing number of subject-based RSS feeds and regularly updated information on hot topics such as commissioning, patient safety and service provision. A free, twice-weekly alert service comprising of links and short summaries of the key documents published that week from national healthcare organisations is also produced.

Digg us! Slashdot us! Share the news.
