Medline Search Pages

BMA Medline

You need a password for this page, only available to BMA members. I find it over-complicated for everyday use.

National Library of Medicine

This is the one I use: it's simple and available to anyone. It does have more complicated options if you need them but these are hidden for simple searches.

Infotrieve

Again fairly simple to use. Interestingly you can ask this site to remember your search and they'll e-mail you any new papers that appear as medline is updated.

Patient Information Web Site

Medical site offering many information leaflets for patients on many medical problems and other links. Free to access and easy to use worth a visit.

Show Scotland

Interesting and well presented site with links to all areas in Scotland this includes access to General Practices in any area.

The most useful search engine in my opinion. If it can't help it will automatically refer you to Altavista. This link is for the UK specific version of Yahoo.

Another search engine
