BMJ Learning - new modules added
At the BMJ Group, we are constantly working to meet the needs of our customers. Our newest additions to the BMJ Learning site are on patient safety and have been made compulsory in many hospitals in the UK. These, being our most popular modules, are:
Injectable medicines: prescribing, preparing and administering
Maintaining patients on anticoagulants: how to do it
Starting patient on anticoagulants: how to do it
Reducing the risk of hyponatraemia when administering intravenous fluids to children
If your institution has a core need which you feel is compulsory for all your members to learn about, our BMJ Learning team can support this. More often this will be in the form of audio modules and can be made compulsory through your IP address which you will have set up at the beginning of your subscription.
To find out more, please contact us.
What's new for BMJ Journals
Do your users currently benefit from access to editorially relevant and internationally respected peer reviewed journals?
