Interactive debate is needed
EDITOR,--I am delighted that the BMJ is partially available on the worldwide web.1 One difficulty with such pages is that they are essentially a one way process, whereas the key to electronic media must be the possibility of interactive discussion. The United Kingdom professionals forum (UKPROF) on CompuServe already provides an electronic meeting place for all health workers in the United Kingdom, discussing various issues. The forum has hundreds of medical members already. There is also a private section for doctors only, and we have been exploring the potential of this medium in postgraduate education in the form of journal clubs and discussion of cases as well as for providing a forum for discussion of medicopolitical matters. We can provide help, support, and easy to use programs to anyone starting offin what initially can seem a daunting environment.
I look forward to the further development of the BMJ's online services
