Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS): web app

News from NICE about Clinical Knowledge Summaries.

Clinical Knowledge Summaries provide healthcare professionals with up-to-date easily accessible evidence relating to many of the conditions and diseases presented within primary care.

The CKS webpages have a new feature, which allows you to download a version of CKS onto your desktop or mobile phone. The web app is available in most browsers, including Edge and Chrome - but isn't currently supported by IE11 or Safari.

You can find the download icon in the address bar when you're on a CKS webpage (via your browser)

Instructions:

Go to Clinical Knowledge Summaries on your phone browse
Click "Install CKS" from the address bar
The app will download as normal to your phone as app CKS | NICE
Click the icon to open CKS on your phone

You can browse and search - an Internet connection is required.

It doesn't download all the CKS topics straight away, just makes a copy of those that you look at, so you can't access all the contents offline. However it caches viewed pages so you can access your frequently viewed topics offline.

No login is required to access Clinical Knowledge Summaries.
