The British Journal of Medical Practitioners (BJMP) is a new, peer-reviewed, international journal, providing healthcare professionals with free access to research, reviews, case reports and health news. This online resource is intended for medical practitioners working in all clinical settings within primary and secondary care.
Ever since the publication of the first edition in 1997, the "Companion to Specialist Surgical Practice" series has met the needs of surgeons in higher training and practising consultants by providing contemporary, evidence-based information on the sub-specialist areas relevant to their general surgical practice. All eight volumes are thoroughly edited and supported by evidence-based references to support key recommendations. This new fourth edition (2009) brings together the relevant state-of-the-art specialist information that the editors and authors consider important for the practising sub-specialist general surgeon.

BioMed Central, the world's largest open access publisher, has teamed up with Quertle LLC to add over 60,000 published articles to Quertle, the online biomedical search tool. Instead of simple keyword searching, this search engine uses a combination of linguistic methods to produce more relevant results. As well as searching fulltext documents from BioMed Central, it also searches PubMed, with other fulltext sources to be added in the near future. Quertle was created by biomedical scientists and chemists, to address the needs of researchers working with this technical literature.
