Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS) and DynaMed

Aimed at the point of care, NHS Clinical Knowledge Summaries provide evidence based information about common conditions managed in primary care. You can browse by topic or search for information. Cancer topics can be found within the specialties such as Men's Health and Women's Health. The navigation button for "Knowledge Plus" links out to further information. There is also information aimed at patients in the database.

You can also access DynaMed through a link on the CKS website.

This is a medical information database with around 3000 clinical topic summaries to support clinical decision making.
DynaMed is designed for use at the point of care and is updated daily. Around 500 journals are monitored and there are also links to relevant articles associated with the topics.

An Athens username and password is required to access the database which can be accessed from the National Library for Health or through the link above.
