Use resources in context

Check the issuing organisation, publication or review date, UK nation, population and clinical scope. Local referral policies and individual assessment still apply. Manufacturer education should be recognised as product-specific content.

This is a curated starting collection, not a complete clinical guideline library or a prescribing tool.
