The Library is currently running a trial of Medline with Full-text. This looks like a great resource, searchable via keywords or MeSH terms. There are many titles full-text, however many also have a 6mo-1yr embargo on the full-text. Please take a look at it by logging in with your Athens account – http://search.epnet.com/athens.asp. Medline with Full-Text is the last database on the list. Please give feedback here, or via email at medlib@swansea.ac.uk .

Locality Study – GP Surgery Data – NEW!
May 14, 2009 by sushslibraryDoing your locality study at the moment? Good news! We have added a new resource to the Locality folder in Blackboard. You can search it online by entering the name of your local GP surgery and it will produce charts comparing data on the prevelance of a range of diseases/conditions in that area with data for the local health board and the UK. It is based upon the data collected for the Quality and Outcomes Framework of the GP contract, and was produced by Gavin Jamie, a GP in Swindon who is interested in Health Informatics.
You will still need to try to collect data when you are on placement, but this should be a useful tool for you. Take a look at the site at: http://www.gpcontract.co.uk/
