New Issue Alerts feature allows you to set up contents page alerts to journals so keep track of the latest information published in your favourite journals! Try this out by using browse journal – select a journal – when you click on the entry the option for new issue alerts will feature.

Try the search feature  – it will try and identify appropriate terms and options for your search eg Migraine.

Results of a search will indicate a variety of content – First Consult procedures will be indicated immediately if available as these provide a clear overview. If you only want details from books or journals there is an option to limit results by source type.

Browse books or journals and limit to specialties to see what is available in one or more clinical areas.

You can also browse or search images and media – these are copyright cleared so great for presentations! The image shown is from a search on childhood obesity using Images as a source filter.

If you want to save results and use options to build up reading lists, presentations and CME you need to create an account (free)        with ClinicalKey.
