ClinicalKey and Patient Education

By
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.

How to access and customise Patient Education handouts

1. Log in to Clinical Key using your UHNM Athens username.

2. Use the search options to look for patient education content on the topic you need.
