Keyboard Primary Care Informatics

Doctors Desk

The Doctors Desk was the first and seminal project for the group. It piloted the linkage of individual practice's networks to the NHSnet - via its hub at St. George's - some three years before this was nationally rolled out as the solution for primary care. The project also linked access to mail, information, educational and telemedicine applications - all accessed through a web browser.

Its Internet site still remains in operation as it has attracted over two million hits. It forms a simple portal to key medical information sites.

Funding: NHS South East, R+D direcorate & subscribing practices (1997-2001)
