Looking for evidence?






There are lots of places where you could do a quick search for evidence. But these are some of the best options:

UpToDate is only available on the hospital network. But it's easy to use, quick to search, and packed with reliable summaries of the evidence that can be found, read and digested in seconds.

DynaMed is available free, with no password to remember, from anywhere in the UK. Similarly, it's easy to use, and summarises the evidence on thousands of topics so that you can find it in a jiffy.

TripDatabase is a great resource that searches for evidence from dozens of sources: Medline, Guidelines, electronic textbooks, evidence synopses, top clinical journals and more. And it's free.

And finally, here a new one I've just come accross:

SumSearch also searches accross a number of sources. It's free, and will help you to develop your search strategy by making suggestions as you type.
