Mobile access to Best Practice

Healthcare professionals need ready access to reliable, up-to-date information when making diagnosis and treatment decisions. The *Best Practice mobile website* can be accessed via any internet-enabled mobile phone, PDA or handheld device; and the *Best Practice app* is available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users. Both mobile options provide quick and easy access to the full content of Best Practice, including expert opinion, guidelines and evidence, while on the move.

Institutional subscriptions include remote access to Best Practice AND access to the mobile site for no extra charge. If you are part of an institution that subscribes to Best Practice, by creating a My Best Practice account (see below), you can access the Best Practice website remotely (from outside the institution).
