Web Based Resources
British Society of Echocardiography (BSE)
http://www.bsecho.org/
The British Society of Echocardiography was founded in 1990 to promote the study and
advancement of ultrasound imaging and Doppler techniques in cardiology. The site provides
information for those working in clinical echocardiography, adult and paediatric cardiology and
cardiovascular research and teaching. This includes cardiologists, radiologists, anaesthetists and
junior doctors. The website provides information on the organisation, membership requirements,
resources, meetings, distance learning modules, abstracts of articles on echocardiology, and
guidelines and statements. The site provides access to information on echocardiography for
patients and relatives of those undergoing treatment.
Cardiac Physiology
http://www.cardiacphysiology.org.uk/
This is the website for the Cardiac Physiology Network South (CPNS). It was established in 2005
to provide a link between the cardiac departments at Southampton University Hospital Trusts,
Portsmouth Hospital NHS Trust, and Basingstoke and North Hampshire Foundation Trust. The
CPNS aims to raise the profile of cardiac physiology locally and nationally, and is involved with
education, clinical standards and progress. From this site there is information on undergraduate
courses, postgraduate education, career grades within cardiac physiology and links to cardiology
related sites. Registered users can access a cardiac physiology resource page.
British Cardiac Patients Association
http://www.bcpa.co.uk/
The British Cardiac Patients Association was founded in 1981 at Papworth Hospital and provides
help, support, reassurance, and advice to cardiac patients, their families and carers. The site
provides information on the organisation, its history, mission, membership, organised events,
news updates, group pages, affiliated groups, a glossary of terms, publications and links to sites
of related interest. Factsheets covering a range of heart issues can be viewed or downloaded as
PDF files.

NHS Evidence Specialist Collections
http://www.library.nhs.uk/cardiovascular/
This collection aims to provide high quality, evidence-based information on all aspects of
cardiovascular diseases. This site is aimed at health professionals with an interest in
cardiovascular diseases.
UpToDate
Only available on NHS computers. Can be accessed via Exeter Health Library’s website.
http://services.exeter.ac.uk/eml/
UpToDate is a worldwide clinical community that you can be part of and benefit from.
UpToDate is the largest clinical community in the world dedicated to synthesizing knowledge for
clinicians and patients. Our community includes over 4,400 expert clinicians who function as
authors, editors and peer reviewers and over 400,000 users who provide feedback and questions
to our editorial group. Our role is to facilitate interaction among members of the healthcare
community and to synthesize and disseminate information in order to help clinicians provide
better care.
UpToDate answers your clinical questions.
With UpToDate, you can get specific, detailed answers to your clinical questions. Over 80 million
patient-related problems are researched each year with UpToDate.
UpToDate is comprehensive and current, keeping you informed of the latest clinical findings.
UpToDate covers over 8,500 topics in 17 medical specialties and includes more than 97,000
pages of text, plus graphics, links to Medline abstracts, more than 385,000 references and a drug
database. Our physician editors and authors review and update our content continuously. An
updated version of UpToDate is released every four months.
UpToDate provides treatment recommendations that help patients get the best possible care.
UpToDate includes treatment recommendations based on the best medical evidence.
Recommendations are kept current as new studies are released, and those with important or
immediate implications are identified in Practice Changing UpDates.
UpToDate is written by physicians who are experts in their fields, so you have confidence in our
recommendations.
Over 4,400 physician authors and editors, all experts in their respective fields, write topic reviews
that cover all of the major aspects of a particular condition, including symptoms, tests and
diagnosis, and treatment options. All topics are also subjected to rigorous peer review.
UpToDate is evidence-based, providing information you can rely on.
UpToDate is evidence-based and uses a literature-driven updating system; more than 440
journals are monitored by editors and authors, and anytime something of importance is published,
it is incorporated into the program. The key word here is "incorporated." UpToDate is not a journal
watch. New studies are not simply added; rather they are placed in the context of what has
already been published in that field.
UpToDate is unbiased, providing information that is not influenced by commercial interests.
