  • Compare Healthcare Options With WhatClinic.com

    It’s Tuesday Push time again, this week seeing WhatClinic.com get a nudge – and well worth it too. I first heard of WhatClinic when it was announced they had secured a €1.25m round of funding through Mianach Venture Captial, supported by Enterprise Ireland as a HPSU. That was back in January, when at the time the site currently had information on over 60,000 clincs in the UK, Ireland and 50 other countries worldwide.

    The site helps people take control of their healthcare choices and find the moist suitable clinic and treatment for their needs.

    At BizCamp Dublin back in March I sat in on the talk shared by Johnny Beirne and Caelen King where those of us in attendance were treated to an insight of the development of WhatClinic.com, the ups and downs of changing the design and function of your company’s website, where the site aims to generate revenue and what it can do for those seeking healthcare options. Caelen also recently presented at BarCamp Belfast (where I still haven’t managed to shift my thoughts from the notepad to the screen) on monitising your web applications, which you can see below.

    If you’re looking for a dentist in dublin, a cosmetic clinic in Galway, or plastic surgery clinics in Ireland, you’ll find them on WhatClinic.com.

    Clinics and providers can also sign up for free and setup a WhatClinic brochure. For additional services to boost your profile online there is also a premium-level €50p/m option to help you get even more patients, access a patient management system and brand your brochure in your own style (removing third-party branding).

    You can also follow WhatClinic on Twitter here.

  • Ken McGuire, MaxRoam And The N95

    I feel I’ve been neglecting my blog of late, getting drawn into the many other blogs one keeps and watching my workload pile up online and offline.

    However, here’s an interesting one.

    Keeping an eye on Twitter during the day, I caught a tweet from Laura Czajkowski referencing potential employers googling your name. I’ll admit that I do have a Google Alert set up to catch mention of my name (as it turns out, it’s quite helpful) but I wouldn’t regularly Google myself.

    On top of that, I’ve always wondered about the secondary results on Google, especially those one-word or sectioned links under the primary search result.

    So to my amazement I run a google search for Ken McGuire just now and I’m presented with the above.

    Explain that one…

    That said, if a potential employer was to indeed “Google me”, I’d be quite happy with the results thrown up on the first page highlighting my blog, my photography, my music, my work with KilkennyMusic.com and a newspaper interview covering everything else (about a year ago).
