Which Medical Device was launched in September 2010 by Dr Philip Haslam (an Interventional Radiologist based at the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom) alongside colleague Mr Craig Gerrand and business partner Steve Walmsley.[5] The site incorporates content from the Which Interventional Device website that Dr. Haslam founded in 2007.[6]. Which Medical Device currently covers devices in the fields of Interventional Radiology, Cardiology and Orthopaedics.
In September 2011 Which Medical Device partnered with SAGE, the independent academic publisher. SAGE publishes more than 650 journals worldwide, including a complementary programme of 150 titles across health, medicine and life sciences. The collaboration aims "to provide an independent, dynamic and high quality resource for the medical community".[7] [8]
