We do check the links regularly and have just fixed a bunch of broken ones.
]]>We use them everyday in our clinical practice!
Try the CaCr Clearance Ratio Calculator or some of the calculators built right into the Hot Box.
]]>In Australia, we have been lucky to have a brief reprieve from COVID-19. Fingers crossed this continues for a little longer.
In 2021, we will continue to work on the core ClinicFire proposition: fast access to reliable information.
Keep sending us your feedback!
]]>Pandemics bring out the best and worst of us. Share quality information, practice good hygiene, flatten the curve by maintaining social distancing, and above all be kind to each other. See you on the other side.

]]>We are working away in the background on new features for ClinicFire.
]]>Proposed extensions include:
Can you think of a suggestion for these new options?
]]>We at ClinicFire think this is unacceptable and our colleagues at the Postgraduate Medical Council of Victoria (PMCV) do as well. They have created an App that puts information on dealing with mental health crises and caring for oneself in the palms of JMOs’ hands, accessible when they may need it most. Just as our mission is to make the lives of JMOs and indeed all doctors easier through making medical resources just that much more accessible, so too does JMOWell seek to improve access to information when doctors need it most.
More information on JMOWell and links to download it can be found at the JMOWell landing page.
]]>“Doctor I just need to know if these antibiotics are going to cause problems with my frusemide?”
‘Damn, what was the name of that site again?’
“Well at least can you re-prescribe me my Xarelto, I’m about to run out and don’t want to get another clot.”
“Yep sure,” you say reaching for the script pad, pausing as you remember you need the PBS streamline authority code. So you Google it and click the first link, only to end up at the Public Broadcaster Service website yet again. ‘I hate it when that happens…’
As a doctor you’re expected to mentally juggle veritable filing cabinets of medical knowledge, guidelines, prescribing rules, medicolegal considerations, soft skills, hard skills, and know where to find orders of magnitude more information when needed at the drop of a hat. So you thank heaven for the internet and make very sure you always have a browser window open, ready for that next surreptitious search on the part of your screen(s) the patient can’t see from their seat in your clinic room. The only problem is that as good as Google is, it can’t read your mind. To be sure you’ll find that rarely used calculator eventually. But as you waste precious minutes searching, the waiting room just keeps on filling up.
We’ve all been there.
Now there’s a better way.
]]>Thank you for the great support from the Twitter community.
In particular we’d like to thank @Nishaobgyn, @SezClom and @Lisa_H_Amir for their excellent contributions to the new Obstetrics and Gynaecology section.
