Interactivity form a very crucial aspect for any web site. Chat forums, mailing lists, bulletin boards, etc. provide the platform for doctors to communicate and exchange ideas and views. At the same time it is also a very effective method for learning.

Apart from our organised mailing listservs at www.egroups.com, we are now piloting a new web-site at http://pcdom.org.my:9673/pilot_pns currently for doctors participating in the Primary Health Care Network Services (PNS), a DAGS funded project. The site offers e-Community facilities such as chats, (including e-Consultation rooms), file-sharing, bookmarks, message-boards, etc. We have also put together links to other forums which address different topics that are of interest to primary care doctors.

PCDOM Mailing List

We have organised our interactive activities using the listserv facilities at http://groups.yahoo.com. Committee Members (with working e-mails) are now automatically subscribed to a PCDOM_Committee mailing list, whereas others who are interested in general practice and primary care in Malaysia have been subscribed to the primarycare_in_malaysia mailing list. Current members are encouraged to introduce other colleagues to be members. Membership is currently restricted in the sense that they have to be approved first if they have not been introduced by current members. This was because during an initial "trial" period when the list was put up, there were postings made to the list to promote commercialware. A separate list for PCDOM_members only will be created soon to provide PCDOM Secretariat with a convenient communication channel with the members. Although members may not be able to post directly to the list, they will be able to email directly to the Secretary/President and also able to use other facilities such as chat forums, developing group resources, sharing databases etc.
