Introduction
- The ethos behind Ganfyd is that is a free repository for the vast amount of knowledge that doctors carry around in their heads
- We broadly limit the ability to edit to Registered Medical Practitioners, but of course registered medical practitioners span a wide spectrum of opinion so we hope we have some of the strengths without some of the weaknesses of say Wikipedia.
- Once your registration is accepted you can create or edit any article. Such registration should be very painless for those with a doctors email address.
- We wish original contributions that do not infringe copyright. So please do not copy material verbatum from other sources where such infringement could be claimed.
- Your latest case presentation summary of the literature might be just what Ganfyd is about.
Editing
- Text can be entered with only a few markup symbols needed to get a good looking article. You can cut and paste say from a wonderful powerpoint presentation.
- Generally you should try to summarise knowledge. We welcome references (using pubmed especially) so others can delve deeper.
