Library Events - Point of Care Tools
We need your help to make sure that all clinical staff are accessing the correct clinical information resource to provide evidence based patient care at Epsom and St Helier. During September and October, we will be trialling two point of care tools BMJ Best Practice and DynaMed Plus. We want you to compare these tools to our current point of care tool UpToDate. See the library events page for more details.
