I am currently working with a company to put the medical records of 
elite athletes online.

I gave a presentation a short while ago to the physios who look after 
the elite athletes, a copy of which is here:

http://www.sportsinjurymanager.co.uk/physio/index.html

If there are any errors that are spotted please report and feel free to 
use as you wish (bar the injury data on the six nations - I do not have 
copyright to that)

While I am trying to ensure that everyone uses compatible standards we 
have had considerable difficulties with a number of organisations (esp. 
football clubs) in releasing medical records.  These are owned by the 
organisation that paid for them.  Hence they are owned by the government 
in the case of the NHS, your employer or the private practice.  You are 
entitled to obtain a copy for £21 - but that is as far as ownership goes.

Aside from this I have been unable to get to the link above - it does 
not resolve :-)  (probably just more of my DNS issues !!!!)

Kind regards
Xander
