Happy New Year and 'TRIP answers'

Happy New Year to all students and staff!

As we are all back into the swing of things we thought we'd let you know about a high quality, new, free database:

TRIP answers is a "repository of clinical questions and answers drawn from a wide number of sources around the world and builds on TRIP’s ten years experience of answering clinical questions. Ultimately, we want to create a resource where clinicians can easily find answers to their question and, who knows, create a clinical Q&A ‘space’ where users can share their own Q&As."

TRIP answers has a very useful tag cloud to help you search for the subject you are interested in. Why not try it out and let us know what you think of it?
