The Knowledge & Library Service is continuing to look into different solutions for providing rapid access resources to support clinical care. In recent times we have trialled both UpToDate and promoted the Dynamed resources available as part of the National Library for Health. A new option is Best Practice from the BMJ Publishing Group.
In their own words:
"In a single source we have combined the latest research evidence, guidelines and expert opinion – presented in a step-by-step approach, covering prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Best Practice provides a second opinion in an instant, without the need for checking multiple resources. Its unique patient-focused approach represents a major new advancement in information delivery at the point of care"

We have a trial running till 19th April 2009. Access to the trial is via your Athens username (register online). It will be possible to set up the full product to work in the same way as UpToDate with a link from the Intranet so please try to imagine this being in place when evaluating the product.
