Content
MediAc is a discrete pocket resource cutting time on trawling through search results
Context is key and categories allow you to focus in on the meaning of an entry especially as an acronym can have more than one meaning
Our list of entries features all the NHS listed acronyms and many more
It will be regularly updated as new acronyms are discovered
Use of MediAc does not require an Internet connection once installed (External content and app updates require network access)
MediAc's Origin Story
I'm Xanthe and have over 35 years experience working in education, veterinary and healthcare
I spent a year working in a busy GP surgery in Cambridge and then moved to work at Addenbrooke's, one of the largest and most well known teaching hospitals in the country
Throughout my career I have been involved in training in the workplace, sat on different charities at local, county, regional and national levels and have written articles for national publications
Working in healthcare I immediately became aware of the abundancy of acronyms & abbreviations with the need to quickly understand and use them
MediAc was researched and designed by myself and kindid.co.uk
MediAc remains an invaluable resource to myself and others
