- Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)
- Wikipedia is one of the leading online sources of medical information, and as an encyclopedia our medical content is used by a wide range of groups, including patients, those with a general interest, medical professionals, and students. How is, and how should, Wikipedia's coverage be different from that of other major online medical sources, many aimed primarily at patients? A panel including medical Wikipedians and people from other major medical websites discuss the issues. We will also talk a little about research planned by Cancer Research UK, one of the UK's largest charities, whose new Wikipedian-in-Residence is John Byrne/Johnbod.
The panel will be:
- James Heilman (Jmh649]/Doc James) MD, CCFP-EM, Clinical Faculty member of the Department of Emergency Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of British Columbia (Clinical Instructor)
- Henry Potts, Senior Lecturer, Centre for Health Informatics and Multiprofessional Education (CHIME), UCL Institute of Epidemiology & Health Care (Bondesgesou)
- Henry Scowcroft (HenryScow) Cancer Research UK's news and multimedia manager.
- Chair: John Byrne (Johnbod), now the Cancer Research UK Wikipedian-in-Residence (as Wiki CRUK John).
