Website helps share ideas

REALNET, the website builder at Royston, has spent the past two years working with Dr Gilbert Park, director of intensive care research at Addenbrooke's Hospital, on a site that will allow intensive care knowledge to be shared around the world.
Launching the website, Dr Park, who is also a consultant in anaesthesia at Addenbrooke's, said: "Physicians involved in the development of implementation of intensive and critical care no longer have to work in isolation but can share their experiences and methods with colleagues in hospitals and universities around the world thanks to the marvels of website technology." Simon Lam, Realnet sales director, said:

"Dr Park's online idea is at the beginning of a much wider opportunity to take medical research into critical care, which we believe will become an extremely useful medical portal for intensive care specialists."
