PATIENT AND PUBLIC INFORMATION

Healthtalkonline (October 2008)
DIPEx, the award winning website of patients’ experiences, has changed its name to Healthtalkonline. The site covers around 50 illnesses and general health topics and for each topic around 30-50 people from different backgrounds and locations share their personal experience. Subjects covered include cancer, heart disease, chronic pain, bereavement, diabetes, epilepsy, and women's health. All content is based on research carried out at the University of Oxford and is useful not only for patients but also for doctors and other health service staff.
