What is a good, free, on-line website that gives updates on the latest medical research?

Answer:

The Virtual Medical Centre

The VMC is Australia’s leading provider of the latest medical information – and is yours – for free!

The VMC website provides free top-quality medical information to the public and health professionals. Each month it attracts over half a million visitors.

Founder, Perth Oncologist Andrew Dean, explains why he set up the site:

“This web initiative was created seven years ago when patients coming to see me had all kinds of questions they felt weren’t being answered.

I and other like-minded colleagues felt it would be a good idea to provide information on a website so that patients could access it 24 hours 7 days a weeks .

This started off originally as the Virtual Cancer Centre. And because of its success, it’s now expanded to cover all the major medical specialties. Each of the websites is supported by a group of specialists from that particular medical specialty to make sure the content of the site is up to date and relevant.

What you can find on the sites is all manner of information regarding the diseases that affect us in modern society.”
