New from Trip: More guideline scores, quality improvements and the last chance to take part in our survey!

By

 Latest news from the TRIP database team.

Exciting Additions: We have some fantastic updates to share:

  • Quality improvements: Two recent changes have improved results. We've updated our synonyms which has dramatically improved a number of searches and we've also introduced a new de-duplication system which removed around 150,000 duplicate records.
  • Guideline scoring: We've just added another batch of guideline scores - 50 in total. Nearly all our guidelines are now displayed with a score.

Survey time: We emailed you a couple of weeks ago about our latest survey. It's still open so if you've not already taken part then please do so (click here to take the survey). User feedback is a cornerstone of Trip’s development and, over the years, it has proved invaluable - so please try to find a few minutes to help direct Trip's development.

Access TRIP: The TRIP database is free to search. Additional functionality and full-text is available to Pro users. NHS staff can log in via NHS OpenAthens to access Pro content.
