Download the Congoo toolbar and you can access web content that you normally have to pay for, such as FT.com. Anyone used it?

I have to research a lot of health information at work and over the past few months there have been some really great health search engine developments. My current favourite (after seeing it on Phil Bradley’s blog) is Search Medica. You can choose to search resources approved by GPs and you can search across the world or just for UK content. It’s aimed at GPs but is useful for anyone. You can also search NHS content only and there is a kind of cluster tool after you have searched, in the side bar. For example, searching for a condition such as depression will bring up lots of results but click on the links at the side and you can choose to look at patient information, patient support and related topics. I often get high results for Scottish information too, which may not seem that important but there are some policies and laws that are different from the rest of the UK which can affect my work.
Highly recommended.
