FAQs

How can I get access to clinicalskills.net?

clinicalskills.net is now available via our website. Subscriptions are available for universities and NHS trusts. We will also soon be offering individual subscriptions, so visit www.clinicalskills.net again soon for more information. 

How often do you review and update the material in clinicalskills.net?

All of our procedures are reviewed by their authors or editors at regular intervals. We send out the procedures to authors and editors approximately every 12 to 18 months and we are in touch with our authors in between times to check whether any updating is required. As soon as we are aware of a change in policy or guidance that will affect a procedure, we initiate a review of that procedure by the author or editor; some procedures have been updated twice a year to incorporate such changes. All new procedures are subjected to double-blind peer review; existing procedures that undergo major changes also undergo further double-blind peer review.

What if the procedure I want my staff to follow is not in your package?

If you buy clinicalskills.net we can add further procedures to your package at no extra cost if your staff can demonstrate them for us.

What if our policies and procedures are different to the ones in your package?

Ideally, we like to adapt our procedures so that they are acceptable throughout the UK, in accordance with the available evidence. However, we accept that there are different ways of doing things and if needed we can produce tailor-made procedures for your own institution.

Is clinicalskills.net available in any other languages?

Not at the moment. This may become an option in the future. If you would be interested in a Welsh-language edition of clinicalskills.net (or any other language), please contact us and let us know.
