Medical Online is a new World Wide Web Internet site produced in Australia by the Medical Communication Company (a division of the publicly listed Media Entertainment Group) to put both professionals and the general public in contact with a comprehensive array of health-related information and access to major areas of medical interest.

"Medical Information at your Fingertips" is a good way of thinking about it.

Located at http://www.medicalonline.com.au the service has received over 6,500 accesses each month since it came online in early 1996.

And after listing on the major Internet search Engines, Medical Online has accumulated a total of 4 commendations from independent Web Analysts. The Medical Online Home page now proudly wears the badges of Point Communications "Top 5%" of Web Sites, "Pirate Pete's Pick of the World Wide Web" , "Ten out of Ten" and "All Campus Media".

The aim, according to founder Dr. Adrian Cohen, was to build a comprehensive database of relevant medical information and to be the first point of call for medical information for members of the public or healthcare professionals.

Medical Online has an easy to use, intuitive interface that allows access to key information quickly.

If the area of interest is not shown, an ONLINE SEARCH ENGINE can be used to look up information.

Interactive ONLINE QUERY FORMS allow the browser to directly access information on specific areas, with personalised and private responses.

And medical goods, services and subscription-based products can also be purchased.

The Index Structure takes the inquirer in a logical sequence to the area of interest, or one can wander through the databases seeking further information.
