Abstract

At the Heart of Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS), http://www.cks.library.nhs.uk/clinical_knowledge, are concise summaries on how to manage almost 500 clinical situations commonly encountered in primary and first contact care. These summaries are underpinned by detailed and up-to-date clinical knowledge on acute and chronic conditions, as well as disease prevention. So whether you need a quick overview or the full text on a topic, CKS will provide these under the headings “Browse Clinical Topics” or “Clinical Specialties” where the returns are presented as “Quick Answers,” “Detailed Answers,” and “Medicines Management.” The three-frame “cascade-like” presentation is the best that I have come across and a pleasure to use.
