Oliver I disagree. I've been begging specialists in my area (eastern Suburbs of Sydney - the so called wealthy area) for the last 10 years. Have had 5% success rate. They are just not interested. Same say that hardly any GP's want it, some say no-one except I want it. Most say they can't asa no PC at work etc.

That is what I realised - specialists won't start using electronic messaging unless and until the doctors who refer to them (that is, us) ask them to do so. As I wrote recently, I have found it very effective to include with every referral a request for them to start using Argus.
