NHSmail users have mailbox shrunk06 Feb 2008
NHS staff who use the health service’s email service NHSmail have been informed that after a recent move to Microsoft Exchange their mailbox size has been capped.
Some 80% of NHS accounts have been capped at just 200Mb, which appears miserly compared with the hefty 6Gb offered by Gmail for free, or the 5Gb offered for free on Windows Live Hotmail.

We don’t know but...
• Sharing information with patients is good (Ros 2003)
• Patients with chronic diseases particularly benefit (de Clerq 2001)
• Interaction better than access (Winkelman 2005)
• Patient-held managment plans improve compliance and care (Giglio 1978, Mellins 2000)
• Co-authorship between clinician and patient creates accuracy and concordance (Kaplan 2001)
• Giving patient decision-support systems may bring major benefits (Barry 1999, Brennan 1998, Leydon 2000)
