Mae'r cynnwys hwn ar gael yn Saesneg yn unig.

The Wales Deanery has provided trainee doctors with a Smartphone device enabling access to accurate medical information

Background

The Wales Deanery has provided trainee doctors (between October 2009 and March 2011) with a Smartphone device and a micro SD card and software application containing 17 medical textbooks, enabling access to accurate medical information such as the BNF, Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy and the Oxford Handbook of the Foundation Year.

Aims

The project aims are:

  1. for Trainees to use the device for information gathering which may in turn lead to improvements in patient care
  2. to assess the usefulness of the device and to guide further improvement in both information delivery and just-in-time learning

Data sources

Data will be drawn from literature and internet search, on-line surveys, baseline and exit questionnaires, case reports, oral and poster presentation days.

Further information

This project was funded by the Wales Deanery and is led by Dr. Mark Stacey, Associate Dean for New Initiatives, in collaboration with Professor Alison Bullock.
