Sorry for the delay in responding.

This site is commercially hosted (pretty cheap, I think it was £100 for 3 years), with registration of the URL included in the price. The Uni supported me in so much as they told the students about the site! After the success of this site we moved the whole of the medical school’s VLE to wordpress – you can visit it here: http://medblogs.wordpress.com

The new Dundeechest site (4.0) is hosted on the university servers, along with Dundee”everything else”.

WordPress has been fine – loads of plug ins, loads of help on line, and really easy to use.

I also use WordPress to run http://www.scottishthoracicsociety.co.uk too.

Good luck. If you want to chat about this, SHIVAG’s very own Tony France knows who I am, so he can put you in touch with me!

I run a website for the Scottish HIV and AIDS group (shivag.co.uk), and in a few years will be retiring. The existing site is written in ASP.NET and C# so will be hard for anyone to take over and I’m thinking of transferring to WordPress. My question is – did you manage to persuade Dundee Uni to host your site, or is it commercially hosted? Have you had any help from the hospital or Uni, or do you think a commercial host is the best way to go? I would love to hear your experience of using WordPress as well
Thanks – David

Great site!

I have created a site for anyone studying for the MRCP and I am sure plenty of these physicians will stumble on your site during their revision.

It is http://www.reviseMRCP.com and contains thousands of MRCP questions for free.

A lot of the questions are based on past paper questions.

Hopefully it can help some people pass the MRCP.

If you could post a link then I would be greatly appreciative.

Kind regards,

Tom

If the respiratory failure is chronic there can be metabolic compensation. So type 2 respiratory failure can be associated with acidosis, or not.

Diarrhoea and high output fistulas are a cause of metabolic acidosis with a normal anion gap.
