Clinical Key has sent me
an update about the patient education content within Clinical Key.
ClinicalKey offers
access to leaflets that support hospital staff to deliver patient education in
multiple languages, as well as adapted text for different populations
(easy-to-read).
Patient Education
materials in ClinicalKey cover conditions, procedures, drugs and behaviours and
include approximately 10,000 individual leaflets. Patient Education handouts
can be customised to add a custom comment and contact details for the treating
professional. You can share Patient Education information with individual
patients, as a printed handout or electronic pdf file and for their personal
use.
