The internet can be a useful resource for researching medical conditions. It also has inherent weaknesses that you should be aware of.  If you use the internet for medical research or information, please be aware of the following points

  • always look for a balanced view – do not rely on advice from one site and seek a balanced viewpoint
  • remember that anyone can publish anything on the internet. Make sure that the authors’ names and their qualifications are included – anonymous information may not be sourced accurately
