A group of core medical and surgical trainees have developed Ontake – a free online case-based resource – available at www.ontake.co.uk.
Ontake is a library of interactive case-based activities with real-life data from patients that simulate clerking commitments on the wards. The site aims to prepare medical students for work on the surgical or medical admission units. The content is mostly geared towards senior clinical years, although all clinical year medical students will benefit from using the site.
The Ontake cases cover the most common types of medical and general surgical admissions, and the library will continue to grow. The website and cases are free to access.
The content has been reviewed by Dr Andrew Stanton, Senior Medicine and Surgery Lead, and he recommends this for Bristol medics in years 3-5. We hope that you will find the cases useful. Please use the contacts page in the Ontake site to give feedback or ask questions.
