Great app and clinical info
Up to date knowledge with clear and understandable explanations. Easy to use and find key info. Use for CPD and ever-expanding expected knowledge of a GP (UK). Very helpful.

Educational
It is an app I refer to for upgrading my knowledge. Every topic I have wanted from mental health to general and cancer has been very favourably written. The information is reliable and from relevant sources. It also stirs my thinking and allows room for research. I highly recommend this app. You will not be disappointed, regardless of your field of practice or learning.

Life-changing resource
I got introduced to this app by one of my ED consultants whilst I was on my earlier training years. I can tell you yet again that this made my life as a doctor easy. On the go, updated, easy to navigate, basic to expert level material. NICE guidelines… Great app indeed!
