BMJ Group Produces Authoritative Guide And Courses On Swine Flu For Medical Professionals Across The World
Responding to the World Health Organisation’s recent confirmation of swine flu as a pandemic, BMJ Learning, the medical education arm of the BMJ Group, has updated and revised its guide 'Influenza pandemics: why, what, and how to prepare' which covers all the information doctors need to know about pandemic flu including details of the epidemiological features and a description of the viruses involved.
Three audio modules have also been published: • 'Swine influenza: an update' has been produced in association with the UK Health Protection Agency. It reviews how doctors should be dealing with cases and suspected cases • 'Pandemic flu: an update on ethical dilemmas' discusses the ethical dilemmas that doctors are likely to face as a pandemic worsens and answers questions about when doctors should risk their own and their families’ health to care for the sick and how to share out the available resources ' drugs, ventilators, vaccines ' when there’s not enough to go round • 'Planning for a pandemic: an up to date guide is produced to help doctors plan for a pandemic, and includes interviews with GPs and GP leaders.
