1,000 post milestone
I've just reached a significant milestone. The last post was number 1,000!
So that's 1,000 healthcare and medicines related posts in about 5 and a half years.
And while I'm reporting such figures there are
- over 500 comments from
- nearly 45,000 unique visitors
- from at least 156 countries in all corners of the world
- and over 10,000 spam comments
Unsurprisingly, Google provided the most search engine referrals (over 30,000 in 2010) to the site with Yahoo! in second place but a massive margin. But most visitors (over 90%) come straight here!
When I started this blog I really had no plans or expectations of where it might lead so I had no idea that I would end up here.
There are two things that give me immense satisfaction from running this site though.
The first is that the National Prescribing Centre incorporated a blog into their interactive site based on the success this site.
The second is the occasional feedback I get from readers telling me that what I write is useful to them and is helping them in their work.
So, if you like what I do here post me a comment below and to use the words of Frankie Howerd, "If you've enjoyed it, tell your friends!".

Well done Matthew! As an ex-prescribing advisor with hopes one day of maybe going back I find your blog a great way to keep in the loop. Keep up the good work!

Hello Matt,
I think I've been reading your blog for at least 5 years. It's well informed, relevant and most importantly the information you offer is from trusted/accredited sources. In short it keeps me up to date.
Well done....please carry on!
