Description
The Australian Medico-Legal Handbook will be provided with PDA software and aims to give JMOs immediate, clear and concise answers to
the most frequently asked legal questions arising during hospital training. Doctors carry very little when they are in the ward but are
increasingly carrying PDAs, making the accompanying software an ideal content delivery method.
