Our resource of the month for September focused on Library in your pocket resources. These are resources, which are easily accessed on smart phones and tablets.

During the first week of September we asked you to recommend which apps you have found useful. We received a number of suggestions on our comments board:

In the second week of September we recommended Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS) which provides information about a number of conditions.

Continuing our #resourceofthemonth series this week our resource is Clinical Knowledge Summaries, it provides background information about a large number of conditions including information about diagnosis, prevalence and management. https://t.co/K7jmKaKiqP

Our next recommendation was for the NICE Clinical Guidance App which provides NHS specific information.

This week our #resourceofthemonth is the NICE guidance app. This can be downloaded onto your device and allows you to search for guidance on a particular condition or you can browse the index.

Our final Library in your pocket resource was the CASP app which allows you to produce PDF or CASP formatted critical appraisals which can be printed or shared.

Our final #resourceofthemonth for September is the CASP app. It's only available on Apple devices.
You can use the CASP checklists to critically appraise medical literature and save the critical appraisal as a PDF. It includes a calculator for NNT. https://t.co/WVKxtiyWO9
