ABOUT
DiagnosisView has been created by a small team at Edinburgh Medical School, part of the University of Edinburgh.
Why?
We were designing a remote, part-time route to a medical degree, HCP-Med. We imagined students sitting in a General Practitioner’s surgery two weeks in, puzzling over diagnoses they hadn’t come across before. So we wanted a quick way to provide rapid, trusted information, suitable for speaking to a patient, or discovering likely worries – or later, for learning more in the coffee room, or on the bus home.
But we quickly realised that this should also be useful to healthcare students and practitioners much more widely.
