| ;Doctors use, but don’t rely totally on, Wikipedia | |
| [[File:Wikipedia - Cancer Survivor.jpg|frameless|right]]
| |
| According to recent research that has been shared with Wikimedia UK, use of Wikipedia for medical information is almost universal among a sample of doctors. Many of them praise its accuracy, but they are aware of its faults and that it needs to be read critically.
| |
| The investigators conducted an online survey of medical staff at two large hospital trusts in England. Nearly all the 109 responses included free-text comments.
| |
|
| |
|
| Unsurprisingly, the respondents all consult Wikipedia. The survey was concerned with whether they consult it for medical information and whether it affected their clinical practice.
| | [[File:Wikimedia_UK_Training_the_Trainers_weekend,_February_2013_(11).JPG|thumb|right|175px|A group of trained Wikimedians]] |
|
| |
|
| Ninety percent said they look up medical information on Wikipedia, citing its ease of access and clear, concise layout among its advantages. Among those who denied using it, some commented that they only used Wikipedia for background knowledge: in other words, they ''were'' using it. <span class="plainlinks">[http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2012/04/doctors-use-but-dont-rely-totally-on-wikipedia/ <nowiki>[</nowiki>...<nowiki>]</nowiki>]</span>
| | Wikimedia UK is the Wikimedia chapter covering the United Kingdom. We exist to help collect, develop and distribute freely licensed knowledge and other educational, cultural and historic material. We do this by bringing together the Wikimedia community in the UK, and by building links with UK-based cultural institutions, universities, charities and other bodies. We also represent UK-based Wikimedians to the Wikimedia Foundation and the global Wikimedia movement. |
