An app a day...

NICE has developed two new applications for smartphones to help healthcare professionals find information and guidance on the move.

The NICE British National Formulary (BNF) app provides easy access to the latest prescribing information from the BNF. Once you have downloaded and activated the app, you can access the content offline. The BNF will give you details of medicines prescribed within the UK, advice on prescribing and information on drug management of common conditions. You will need an NHS Athens username and password to download this app.

The NICE Guidance app allows you to browse and search for NICE guidance, arranged by conditions and public health topics. You can also select full guidance documents and bookmark individual sections of chapters for offline reference on your phone.
 


The links to download both apps, for Android and iphone users, are available from here: http://www.nice.org.uk/aboutnice/nicewebsitedevelopment/NICEApps.jsp





We also have an app for DynaMed, the clinical reference tool for use at the point-of-care. DynaMed Mobile is compatible with the Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, among others. You will need a DynaMed serial number from the library to download DynaMed Mobile onto your handheld device - please contact the librarians on 0161 419 5809 for more details.
