Unfortunately the page on Guillain-Barré  has been unavailable for a while because our web server does not speak French. As the file name for the page used the correct spelling (Guillain-Barré), the anglophile server refused to recognise it and was displaying an error message instead.  The page is now available again, however (apologies to all the Francophiles out … Read more

The main site menu has been updated so the two new versions (and the old version) of the manual content can be accessed through the ‘Content’ heading on the main menu. As the previous ‘Search’ and ‘Index’ headings on the main menu only are only relevant to the old manual content (that is no longer being updated), … Read more

As previously announced, the old version of manual content is giving us problems so we need a new version to replace it. Because of this we have been developing a few different options for a new layout. The first of these layouts was added to the site a few months ago, and today we have added another. The … Read more

3 new ECGs have been added to the ECG gallery.

Eleven additional images have been added to the CXR gallery, bringing the total number of images to 111.

The new layout for the manual has been further developed, and is now at the point where it is ready for use. For this reason we have put a link (to open a new tab) to the new format on the front page of the website and here. Within the new layout, you can only access … Read more

Although it may not be obvious, we have been really busy behind the scenes working on a new layout for the contents of the manual.

The website will be off-line for 2 periods of up to 30 minutes sometime between 01:00 and 05:00 AEST next Wednesday 3rd September, 2014 to enable some scheduled maintenance. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

The ECG gallery has been updated and reformatted. Click on the ECG image to enlarge it and show the diagnosis. The gallery is a good way to revise a lot of different ECGs in a short space of time.

Just in case you were wondering how dynamic the online version is, we have just competed the 700th significant update (and hundreds more smaller changes) since we started counting in September 2012.

For those of you who want to keep up with the latest updates without having to check the site, we have included a RSS feed link on the top of the left hand column.

Yesterday we had problems with the website – the navigation bars disappeared as did most of the update pages and access to the susbscribers accounts. Because of this we have had to wind back time and restore the site to a backup made at 03:00 on Monday 7/4/14.  This has just been completed. What that … Read more

No responsibility is taken for … Read more

The main Table of contents page has been expanded to include links to some of the additional features available only in the online version of the manual. We have done this as a number of subscribers have been unaware that the online version also contains quizzes, calculators, image galleries and Journal scans. All existing links to these pages … Read more
