;Doctors use, but don’t rely totally on, Wikipedia
{{{blog post|}}}
[[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.
:'''''<span class="plainlinks">[https://blog.wikimedia.org.uk Read more at blog.wikimedia.org.uk]</span>'''''
 
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>

It's easy to get involved with Wikimedia UK.
 
'''[[Membership|Join Wikimedia UK]]''': Membership is open to all and costs just £5 a year. While most members are editors of one (or more!) of the Wikimedia projects, you don't need to be. Members play a key role in shaping the future of the Chapter, by electing the Board and deciding our strategy at the AGM.</div>
 
'''[[Events]]''': We organise dozens of events each year, including meetups, Edit-a-thons, "Backstage Pass" events, workshops and conferences. Almost all our events are free of charge and open to the public - why not come along and join in? 


We are always interested to hear from new '''volunteers'''. If you have an idea you'd like to help make happen, or time and skills you would like to offer Wikimedia UK, please email any member of the [[Board]]. What's more, [[microgrants]] are also available to help support community initiatives.

About Wikimedia UK

The Wikimedia projects are special: they are written and curated by thousands of volunteers. They are also supported by voluntary donations, through Wikimedia UK, the Wikimedia Foundation and other international chapters.

Wikimedia UK is a charity registered in England and Wales that supports and promotes Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects such as Wikimedia Commons. Our mission is to help people and organisations create and preserve open knowledge, and to help provide easy access for all. We do this by supporting volunteer editors and contributors ('Wikimedians'), by working in partnership with cultural and educational institutions, by hosting training sessions and editing events, and by acting to advocate the benefits of open knowledge generally.

There are several ways to get involved in the charity's work. You can become a member for just £5 per year. You can volunteer to work with us in a variety of ways, both online and offline. You can also make a donation (and if you're a UK taxpayer, we can claim Gift Aid). Subscribe to our Friends' Newsletter to stay in touch. Click the buttons below to learn more.
