Top Ten Films for Medics

Consultant Dib Datta gave a very informative lecture on Friday 23rd September 2011 on the top ten films that medics should watch. This sits well with the work the Trust is doing on Medical Humanities, and will no doubt help inform future film choices for The Dress Circle Film Society.

The films will be added to the medical humanities section of the intranet, which can be viewed by Trust staff here: http://mtwintranet/learning-and-development/medical-humanities.asp.

Details of The Dress Circle Maidstone Film Society can also be seen here, all Trust staff are welcome to attend.

NETVIBES is an RSS aggregator service. It allows us to bring in content, topic by topic, from Pubmed searches, e-journals, Royal College websites, newspapers and local resources such as our book catalogue.

We can bookmark any website, add search forums, calendars, and teaching materials. Each time new content is added to any of the sites we have included within your topic, it will appear in bite-sized format for you to read.

Netvibes is web-based, so you can read it from work or from home, and it can also be downloaded to your iphone for content on-the-go, or you can subscribe to an email update of your topic(s) of interest.

It takes a few clicks to add, move or remove content; please let me know what you need on your Netvibes tab.
