Academic publisher Oxford University Press, a department of the University of Oxford, has announced that the Oxford Textbook of Medicine Online is being updated with new content. The aim is to ensure that the resource continues to reflect current clinical practice. The resource claims to be the foremost international textbook of medicine and was recently shortlisted for the Best Content Innovation at the Bookseller's Future Book Digital Innovation Award 2011.
The editors of the Oxford Textbook of Medicine have been working with authors to thoroughly rework certain chapters in which there have been major developments in the field. With this initiative, they seek to ensure that the content remains up-to-date with new developments and pertinent issues that have a major impact on international medicine.
The update this month provides revisions to two areas of medicine – cardiovascular medicine and renal diseases. Updates to the textbook occur twice a year.
Online access to the Oxford Textbook of Medicine in low and middle income countries is supported by the Wellcome Trust and is made available through the WHO-led HINARI Access to Research in Health programme.
