One Minute Wonders

quick-fire, easy to read clinical topics that help you scratch that cognitive itch.

They are designed to take a minute or so to read and summarise a wide range of clinical topics from burns to Brugada syndrome. You may see them dotted around the Emergency Department. The concept originated in the ED of the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth in 2010 and has blossomed over the years into the One Minute Wonder Network, which we are delighted to be part of.

Anyone can write a OMW! Just contact us for more information.
