Free trial to Clinical Evidence from the BMJ

 

Clinical Evidence is a point-of-care resource provided by BMJ. It is an international source of the best available evidence on the effects of common clinical interventions, similar to UpToDate and DynaMed.
 

It includes evidence-based research from more than 10,000 peer-reviewed references and covers over 640 clinical questions and 3000 interventions. 
 

We have a FREE TRIAL to this resource until the end of October 2014. You can access it here:

www.clinicalevidence.bmj.com
 

No password is needed in the Trust! However, you will need an Athens account to access it from home. Contact the library at library.enquiries@stockport.nhs.uk if you don’t have an Athens account.
 

We are looking at Clinical Evidence as an alternative to UpToDate and DynaMed. Please try out this new resource and let us know what you think.
