Round-Up Of UK Blogs

by Reynolds on Mon 06 Dec 2004 08:07 AM GMT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Mark (of Gullible's Travels) asked me to recommend some UK medical blogs. To my shame I could only think of a handful, so I vowed to change this sorry state of affairs and have a look at some other UK medical blogs.

But first, I need your help.

If you own/write a UK medical blog, or if you read one that isn't on my link-list on the right hand side of this page - then please either email me with it, or (even better) pop it in a comment for this post. Then I shall have a look at them all and summarise them in a future post.

Fly my pretties, fly! And bring me interesting links.

Mr Reynolds,

I was emailing Dr Charles in the US the other day about the exact same thing. Not sure if you've ever heard of "Grand Rounds". US med-bloggers do a round up of each others blogs and posts every week. I was wondering if a UK version would be a good idea. If you're getting a list of bloggers together - then that would give us a base to work from.

Or at least we could set up a web ring - that would be a start!

Damn your eyes sirrah! You have seen through my feeble plans for setting up a UK Medblog webring...

The plan is, to do a showcase of UK Med blogs later on in the week, then set-up invite everyone into a webring (which is a good thing, I got a lot of traffic through the emergiblogs webring). With enough people we could even start a UK biased Grand rounds type carnival.

And please...call me Tom.

Ok Mr Tom,

Did you see who was featured in this weeks Grand Rounds? Why yes, I do believe it was Dr 'as seen in the Guardian' Dre :P

drop me a mail at anytownnhstrust 'at' yahoo.co.uk if there's anything I can do to ease the load.

I'm a student mental health nurse and I do a blog. However, it's only sometimes about nursing. I blog about all kinds of things, nursing being only one of them.

Mine's not a medical blog - I'm a features writer and journalist - but I have blogged a feature I've had published on H.E.M.S - the London air ambulance. Spent a week with them on the chopper and on the trauma car and the feature might be of interest to anybody looking to learn more. It's here if you're interested:

Clicky straight to the feature

Love the blog, btw - I've written quite a few features having spent time with various divisions of the Met police and the military, so yours is a welcome addition to my blogroll. Keep it up, fella.
