About GP Desktop

GP Desktop was created in an effort to consolidate the wealth of useful and reliable medical information available on the internet which can be hard to locate using search engines.

The site launched in August 2006 and is created and maintained by Dr Miles Carter, a GP in Oxfordshire.

GP Desktop is a dynamic site which can be updated by users. If you know a site which is not listed, please add it by browsing to the relevant chapter or disease, and clicking add site.

If you add any local guidelines, the local resource selector will update to include your PCT automatically.

All sites are added immediately but are reviewed by the GP Desktop team to ensure they are appropriate and, importantly, evidence-based and relevant to NHS practice.
