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.
Further information is available at: http://www.learning.bmj.com/ pandemicflu
The BMJ Group has also collated all its information on swine flu at http://blogs.bmj.com/ pandemic-flu/. This site also includes “doc2doc” which provides an opportunity for doctors to share information with each other in confidence.
Edward Briffa, Head of BMJ Learning said: 'The BMJ Group is providing doctors with access to up to date information presented in a way that is easy to understand which can help medical professionals across the world to prepare for dealing with pandemic flu.'
