About Us
 

This site has been developed as a portal for health care resources. The aim is to provide the user with direct access to the most useful health related resources on the web. Links are categorised, can be searched by key word or can be selected from the primary links on the left of the page in each section.

 

The site is split into two main sections; doctor area and patient area. Whilst the information and links provided in these two sections is tailored for different user groups, users can switch between the two sections by clicking the patient/doctor area links at the top of the page.

 

The doctor area links focus on the provision of high-quality resources aimed at healthcare professionals, including links to papers and research resources via recommended websites.

 

The patient area is focussed on providing useful links to resources designed to offer non-medical users more information in common health care areas. Links are provided to the most useful and popular resources for patients on the web, this site should be your starting point when looking for further information in any health care area.

 

We have made the navigation of this site as simple and practical as possible. Users can switch between doctor and patient areas if required, and links open the related page in a new window, meaning the healthweblinks home page is always available in your browser window throughout your searches.

 

If you require any help in using this website, or wish to recommend a category or web site for inclusion please use the feedback form provided.
