Buku specialties
We are really proud of what Buku Haematology achieved, and really enjoyed hearing about how it helped clinicians. With your feedback, we saw the potential for benefit in other specialty areas, and have subsequently changed our name to Buku Medicine to reflect our expanding remit.
We hope our new additions will help to improve patient care further, and ease the workload for clinicians.
All specialties work under a governance framework. There are 2-3 authors at registrar level and a consultant to review and check content. See below for information about some of our team members (more information about all of our contributors coming soon).
