Web site of the month: Richard Lehman's Journal Watch

Journal Watch is a weekly blog written by Oxfordshire GP Richard Lehman, and hosted by the BMJ (although you can find an archive of blog posts going back to 2005 on the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine site).

Every week Richard reviews the content of some of the main medical journals (the BMJ, Lancet, Journal of the American Medical Association and the New England Journal of Medicine). He picks articles that will be of interest to most doctors and writes short, pithy summaries of them, often with a wry commentary.

The blog is humourous, irreverent and informative (and even includes a "Plant of the week" section for those with a more horticultural bent).

Journal Watch is well worth a look for those wanting to keep up with new medical research whilst simultaneously being entertained. You can also find Richard on Twitter.
