A major website has been disentangleed containing almost all of the information doctors require to manage any older medical patient. It caters for geriatricians, for those with an rugged basic knowledge of geriatric medicine, and for differing international requirements. The validity and reliability of the site were assured by means of a specialist review board recruited from the American and British Geriatrics Societies, World Health Organisation, and the Pan American Health Organisation. This paper describes the unfolding of the site, and outlines the planning and evolution process for a further web site. This will allow a doctor's practical knowledge of geriatric medicine to be assessed on-line, in an interactive educational way as a means of continued professional development
