ClinicalKey - trial

ClinicalKey trial (giving access to over 1,000 e-books and other e-resources)

UCL has a trial to ClinicalKey until 1st August 2014

ClinicalKey brings together much of Elsevier's published medical and surgical content in one resource, giving access to over 1000 e-books, treatment monographs, systematic reviews, and over 13,000 videos and millions of images. ClinicalKey also includes over 500 e-journals, although most e-journals are already accessible via UCL’s subscriptions. Content is updated daily.

The ClinicalKey content can be searched alongside Medline and ClinicalTrials.gov records through a simple Google-like interface. Many searches produce thousands of results in text, image or video format. Guidelines, procedures videos, point-of-care information or systematic reviews are often brought to the top of the results. The resource allows users to search a large number of quality sources for research and teaching purposes.

Select ClinicalKey (under C) at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/database to get started. Once logged in, web-based versions of books and journal articles can be accessed without the need for an individual ClinicalKey account. To download PDFs of book chapters (where available) and use features such as the presentation maker functionality, however, you will need to register for an individual account: on a UCL PC, click register at the top right of the screen, complete details, and then click register.

This individual ClinicalKey account can be used additionally to access the First Consult iPhone/iPad app (see: http://info.clinicalkey.com/docs/CK-FC-App-Flyer.pdf). First Consult provides quick answers that are relevant at the point of care. Content in First Consult is subject to oversight by peer reviewers, an editorial board, and physician editors through an editorial process that aims to ensure that the content is current and relevant to practice. The First Consult iPhone App enables access from anywhere – no data connection is required.

Wellbeing rooms at GOS ICH

Image
For students and staff looking for a moment of calm from their studies or working day may be interested to know that last summer the EDI team introduced two new spaces to be the GOS ICH community. There are two wellbeing rooms, situated on the ground floor of the Philip Ullman Wing, where you can pray, meditate or reflect. It’s also a place for those who are looking for a calm space to take a bit of time out.  Room G0.1 is intended for multi-faith prayer and religious observance, and as a quiet space. Room G0.02 is a dedicated quiet space for wellbeing activities such as meditation, mindfulness practise, quiet reading, or for organised wellbeing activities (except on Fridays between 12:30pm and 2:30pm when it is reserved for prayer). To get to the rooms, cross the small bridge just outside Kennedy Lecture Theatre, and then go through the 2 sets of doors opposite Seminar Room 3 (which is just behind you), the rooms are on your left. To respect other users, please familiarise yourself
