Ganfyd
Ganfyd is a medical encyclopedia and professional network that is written by medical professionals. It is a free content resource that is open to contributions from registered medical professionals worldwide. The name "Ganfyd" is an acronym for "Get A Note From Your Doctor".
History[edit | edit source]
Ganfyd was launched in 2005 by a group of UK doctors. The founders were inspired by the success of Wikipedia, but wanted to create a resource that was specifically for medical professionals. They believed that by limiting contributions to registered medical professionals, they could ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information.
Content[edit | edit source]
Ganfyd covers a wide range of medical topics, from anatomy and physiology to diseases and treatments. It also includes information on medical ethics, medical law, and medical history. The content is written in a professional, clinical style, and is intended to be used as a reference by medical professionals.
Features[edit | edit source]
One of the unique features of Ganfyd is its peer review system. All contributions are reviewed by other medical professionals before they are published. This helps to ensure that the information is accurate, up-to-date, and reliable.
Ganfyd also has a forum where medical professionals can discuss topics, ask questions, and share information. This helps to foster a sense of community and collaboration among the users.
Reception[edit | edit source]
Ganfyd has been well received by the medical community. It has been praised for its accuracy, reliability, and usefulness as a reference tool. However, it has also been criticized for its limited accessibility, as only registered medical professionals can contribute.
