Nicola

I am interested in taking a look at this article, but cannot find it on nursingtimes.net

 

Can you provide a title or other way of finding the document?

Thanks

Another interesting article came my way this morning. >From the Nursing Times from the UK.

 

I don't have the title page (someone just photocopied the actual article for me)

 

NT 1 April 2008 Vol 104 No 13 pages 15 and 16 (title is on page 14) www.nursingtimes.net

 

this article discusses the increase in patient empowerment philosophy in the UK, and how the expectation that patients are more empowered through the internet fails newcomers to the country who do not have the background of the NHS, socialised medicine, or internet savvy.

Interesting article on Medscape (which requires a free log in).    Now we have a fancy new name for an old idea....
