Irritable Bowel Syndrome Awareness Month

It's #IBSAwarenessMonth. The more we work together to raise awareness for IBS, the greater our ability to impact positive outcomes, such as additional research, increased educational opportunities, and improved patient care. Check out Clinical Key to read more about diagnosis, complications and symptoms etc.

Stress Awareness Month

It's #StressAwarenessMonth. Join our free Elsevier’s Mental and Behavioral Healthcare Hub, where you can access clinical resources to help your patients. You’ll also find resources to support your own resilience as you care for patients in challenging environments.

April 2nd – Autism Awareness Day

This day is #AutismAwareness Day. To measure the success of our societies, we should examine how well those with different abilities, including persons with autism, are integrated as full and valued members. A good starting point is the Autism Clinical Overview on Clinical Key.

April 7^th – World Health Day

The topic of #WorldHealthDay in 2023 is Health for All and it will be a special one, as the World Health Organization will observe its 75th anniversary. At Elsevier Health, our goal is to improve outcomes for the benefit of every patient; therefore we invite you to visit Clinical Overviews, available on Clinical Key.

April 11^th – World Parkinson’s Awareness Day
