A Psion Series 3/5 Database File containing many assorted useful medical facts & figures which you might have to look up on occasion.

Subjects covered include Biochemical & Haematological reference values, Medical emergency protocols, ATLS, Conversions between various physiological variables, Notes on various important drugs & infusions, Notes on various subjects in Anatomy, Biochemistry, Medicine, Surgery, Radiology, Psychiatry, Dermatology, and even entries on general examination technique.

The most recent version in particular contains a much more detailed section on paediatrics, with numerous tables of physiological variables, and a very detailed section on the dosages of drugs used in paediatrics.
