MS-PAED-LIST
My regular email of medical journal abstracts and comments, and web resources (such as these) that might be of interest to those involved in child health.
I currently scan the contents of The Lancet, BMJ, NEJM, JAMA, Pediatrics, J Pediatrics, Archives of Disease in Childhood, MJA, JPCH, Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, and a few specialist journals. I try and send the details of articles I think would be relevant. I usually include a commentary from my perspective. I have around 2000 subscribers. Some people on the list tell me that this is now the main way they stay up to date with the literature!!
The email list manager I use means you will be able to unsubscribe at any time, subscribe for additional or changed email addresses.
Only I post to the list (it is not a discussion list), and I send around 1-2 emails / week.

Paed-forum
Our Paediatric Discussion Forum (all members can contribute)
This is a discussion list that all members can contribute to.  It is mostly used for discussion of difficult clinical cases for which individuals are seeking advice, practise issues, and maybe hot topics in the news. Subscription is  free and open to anyone with an interest in paediatrics.
