SITEMAP The Internet can be a useful resource for researching
medical conditions. It also has inherent weaknesses that you should be
aware of. If you use the Internet for medical research or information,
please be aware of the following points:
Always look for a balanced view - do not rely on advice
from one site and a balanced viewpoint
Remember that anyone can publish anything on the Internet,
make sure that the author's names and their qualifications are included
- anonymous information may not be sourced accurately
Be aware that advertising might influence the website
contents - check for commercial sponsorship or for advertising which
might influence the information on the website
Check that the website is updated regularly
Be cautious of online diagnoses or consultations
Check the websites privacy and confidentiality policies
Bear in mind that website information or advice sourced
from outside of the UK might describe treatments not available in the
UK
