e-Learning tool launched to help doctors fight pandemic flu - Public Technology
Doctors will be able to learn more about the signs, symptoms and treatment of patients with pandemic flu thanks to a new online training course launched yesterday, which was developed by the Health Protection Agency (HPA).The course will present doctors with mock cases of patients who might turn up at their surgery, including a holidaymaker returning from Thailand with flu-like symptoms and a patient worried by the recent media coverage on bird flu asking to be vaccinated. GPs must correctly diagnose each patient and decide on a course of action including appropriate treatment, whether they should be referred to hospital or told to stay at home and whether to alert the local health protection unit.
