Review `The printed version of The Oxford Textbook of Medicine (OTM) has an honoured place in many practice libraries due to its wide coverage of the scientific basis and practice of general medicine, and its freedom from mid-atlantic style and terminology. The multiple choice questions module (MCQ)that accompanies the OTM contains 400 multiple choice questions related to the textbook and will be of use to those involved in teaching. Most practices nowadays seem to have computers. How many that have CD-ROM facilities I do not know. If your practice has no such player I would urge you to buyone to take advantage of this new presentation of the OTM - particularly if you are involved with training.'Alastair F. Wright, British Journal of General Practice`exceptionally high quality... in the lead for quality of presentation and sophisticated search software... The layout is very clear and they waste no time getting to the point. The Oxford Textbook of Medicine has long been a favourite among European family doctors and the new third editionis likely to be equally popular. Oncology is such a critical area for GPs that this book should earn its keep both as a reference source and for regular reading.'Family Practice`The use of Graphics and Video made this product truly 'interactive' without detracting from the quality of the content... when you consider it will last for years, I can thoroughly recommend it.'http://homepages.primex.co.uk/~dbnurse/otm.htm`The CD-ROM version of the OTM is enhanced by sophisticated word searching.'The Good Buy Guide
