Sourcing Medical Content

Detailed content on Medicines

[Shakil]

Hi, First post in Content forum (i think)

I have been asked by a colleague of mine to help him create a site which will give full information on medicines.

The site is NOT commercial so funds are limited, also the site will purely target people based in the UK, so ceratin medicines from the USA will not be included.

Can anyone shed some light if I can purchase this content and then use this, or is the only option going to be to hire a content writer to research/create all the pages.

As mentioned above this is a NON commercial site, so funds are limited, had it been a business site it would be NO problem to employ content writers and pay for their time.

Deep down I am sure that this information must be out there somewhere, just do not know where it is?

Help.....

Hi Shak,

I've done a little research on this recently. I've found searching google news to be very effective in finding the right university sites and institutions etc...

I think you'll find that it's already in a fully comprehensive site - search for the British National Formulary and you'll find it. I'm not sure of the value of creating another site with the same content.
