UpToDate is available to staff and students based at Mersey and West Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (St Helens and Knowsley).

UpToDate is a clinical decision support resource containing the latest evidence-based developments in your specialty. You will see the link from the desktop of any Trust-networked computer which will give you instant access to thousands of topics.

We recommend that you register with UpToDate to get the best experience. UpToDate will automatically track your usage and you can save an activity log - great for CME/CPD/appraisals to evidence that you're keeping your knowledge and skills current.

Registration will also allow you to download the mobile app from your app store so that you can get the evidence-based clinical information you need from home, at work, or wherever you are. With no need to login each time, you can access information instantly.

NB: You will be prompted to login on a Trust-networked computer at least once every 3 months to ensure access continues.

If you are off-site you can also use your NHS OpenAthens account to login.
