NICE Clinical Knowledge Summaries - update



NICE CKS service provides primary care practitioners with a readily accessible summary of the current evidence base and practical guidance on best practice in respect of over 300 common and/or significant primary care presentations.  The service is regularly updated and new topics added as and when significant new evidence emerges.

Since its launch on 8 April 2013, NICE CKS has updated 50 topics and included four new topics provided by Clarity:

Generalised anxiety disorder
Common mental health problems
Miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy (2 CKS topics which count as one new topic)
Ovarian cancer

The site is experiencing good levels of usage with an average of 146,000 unique visitors per month since launch. The short list of new topics for development in 2014/15 has just been agreed between NICE and Clarity.
