FALLS AND BONE HEALTH

"Covers a clinical area which is clearly important in the light of NSF for Older People Standard Six. Accurate information that reflects the breadth of the topic, but also depth of information where necessary. A very valuable addition to a departmental or hospital library. Intuitive to start up and use; it is more interesting than a textbook.”  Age and Ageing 2004; 33:21.3

"Highly recommended interactive, multimedia CD-ROM aimed at doctors and other health professionals. Presents typical case histories on the management of falls and osteoporosis, with accompanying text and self-test section."  Marion ET McMurdo, John R Harper: Falls, bones and the primary care team.  European Journal of General Practice 2003:9

DEPRESSION AND DEMENTIA IN OLDER PEOPLE

"The content is well researched and referenced and guides the user through these two broad subjects in a clear, well structured manner. The slide format is well thought out, easy to navigate and has useful links... Paraphrasing Osler: to study the phenomena of disease without interactive CAL (computer assisted learning) is to sail an uncharted sea." Age and Ageing 2005; 34: 315

BLADDER PROBLEMS IN ADULTS

"An enjoyable and painless introduction to a core but neglected subject… must be the way forward for continuing medical education. The attentive user… will gain (and retain) much more from this program than a lecture course of similar time and cost."  Age and Ageing 2002; 31:419

OFF HIS LEGS

"Well-demonstrated, with possible explanations provided for each, sometimes subtle, clinical sign. At each step, the trainee is guided to consider the clues so far, and the possible underlying diagnoses…This is an innovative, fun approach to the teaching of a common problem and a marvellous exposition of the diagnostic process in the setting of multiple pathology. The thoughtful trainee will take the clinical diagnostic techniques demonstrated here and apply their principles to the many other multi-factorial problems encountered in old age."  Age and Ageing 2000; 29: 189-190

"Allows the individual to progress at their own pace and quickly locate information. It includes useful video footage as well as radiological and pathological images. The ability for a trainer to assess trainees' progress in the assessment section is very valuable. There are useful patient information sheets which may be printed off – these will also provide a useful practical guide to the trainee."  CAL REVIEWS 03/03/98
