NICE has launched a new version of its point-of-care tool, Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS). CKS will be particularly useful to primary care practitioners ahead of, during and following on from patient consultations.
CKS summarises the best available evidence and practical guidance on best practice in an accessible, easy-to-use format, covering a full range of primary care presentations for over 300 topics.
The new CKS service is openly accessible to UK users at www.cks.nhs.uk.

If you are using a smart phone or other mobile device to access the library catalogue, you should use the mobile version of honni Encore. This is specifically designed to display site content in a more readable format for mobile devices.
To access the mobile site go directly to http://encore.qub.ac.uk/iii/mobile_hs. It works in exactly the same way as the full site except that, if you click on a honniconnect link, you will be asked to log in before you see what, if any, full text is available. This is a minor bug in the system which the software suppliers are currently working to resolve. However, but it does not adversely affect use of the site and, once logged in, you can continue to access resources in the normal way.

At the minute, you might find that Ovid databases such as MEDLINE and EMBASE aren’t accessible via Internet Explorer in the QUB Student Computing Centres. Clicking on the links to these databases in QCat Discover or in LibGuides might bring you to an ‘Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage’ error message.
The library is currently working with IT to fix this problem.
In the meantime, the Ovid databases are accessible in the Student Computing Centres via Chrome or Firefox (though in these browsers the databases may take approximately 60 seconds to load).
If you have any queries about the Ovid databases, please contact Richard Fallis, Subject Librarian for Medicine, Dentistry & Biomedical Sciences: r.fallis@qub.ac.uk

If you experience problems printing from Proquest, please begin your honni session again in Google Chrome browser, connect to Proquest again and when trying to print, use the ‘Print to Fit’ option on the blue menu bar displayed above the article.
Proquest are working to find a more satisfactory solution and in the meantime we apologise for the inconvenience .
