The Internet has provided a vehicle for facilitation of the interaction between providers, consumers, the pharmaceutical industry and academic organisations. The number of units that constitute the Internet is huge by any standards. This allows for both breadth of resources and also allows for depth of knowledge especially when one is dealing with rare or highly specialised topics. It is member focused and provides news, service and resources for members and their practice. Twenty-five organisations use the network to publish news on the network.
News is immediately accessible on the network by all members.
Members of the network can easily contact corporate organisations by filling in a simple form, which is then immediately emailed to corporate members. Membership has reached 1400, which is excellent when one considers that more than half of its members are from Malta, a tiny island in the Mediterranean. In fact, the process of publishing has been completely automated. It aims to serve as a focus point for anyone interested in attending a medical conference by providing information about planned conferences and keeping potential delegates up to date with any news that conference organisers may want to publish. Conference organisers benefit from the network, not only by having their conference details listed on the site but also by being able to publish their conference news at any time of day and from any computer which has access to the Internet.
