Peer to peer cross-cover SHO teaching, an underutilised and useful educational tool

Abstract

Results: The websites were scored and the three highest rated are as follows: in third place The Royal College of General Practitioners, in joint second were the Royal College of Physicians (London) and Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and in first place with the highest rating, the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Conclusion: These websites are key in the way the colleges interact with both medical professionals and the public. Our subjective opinion that the websites varied in their effectiveness as a resource, correlated with variability in the scoring. We found that many of the college websites have the potential to deliver more for their users.
