Kasebook.co.uk

A website where doctors can post questions and answers on clinical and non-clinical subjects. Users are encouraged to quote sources and appropriate evidence for their answers and entries can be used as evidence for CPD.

Kasebook is "a professional networking site for primary healthcare clinicians to share and develop their knowledge." Once registered (free) users can confidentially post questions on clinical and non-clinical subjects for other members to answer. The site makes it simple to quote evidence used to support answers and users will always be able to see who is answering the questions.

"KaseBook mimics and expands the way most people learn from trusted colleagues, but over a wider range."
