Rapid Response:

eBNF is a useful tool

I agree with colin Bradley that this CDROM is not too good as a
source of detailed pharmacological information.

As a GP, I find the eBNF is a superb tool for checking rapidly on
drug doses and interactions and use it several times a day

One huge advantage over the printed text is the ability to MAGNIFY
the display. A high myope like me can set the default text to be easy to
read and I can increase the size more so that patients can read the
information easily as well. (I'm sure they believe information on the
screen more readily!)
