Library Apps
Mobile apps for accessing library resources.
There’s an App for That!
DynaMed
DynaMed is a clinician-focused tool designed to facilitate efficient and evidence-based patient care. Rigorous and daily review of medical literature by our physician and specialist staff ensures that timely and objective analysis, synthesis and guidance are at our users’ fingertips. Physicians who are “on-the-go” can take advantage of mobile access and continue work without missing a beat, thanks to syncing between desktop and mobile experiences.
The mobile app is available to KGH colleagues and requires the use of a personal registration created whilst using DynaMed on-site.
BNF (British National Formulary) and BNF for Children
The BNF/BNFC app is aimed at prescribers, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals who need sound, up-to-date information about the use of medicines. It combines the content from the BNF and BNFC, ensuring easy access to BNF information wherever you are.
No authentication required. Works offline.
BMJ Best Practice
BMJ Best Practice provides access to the latest evidence-based information for healthcare professionals, structured around the patient consultation with advice on symptom evaluation, test ordering, treatment approach and follow up. It also offers clinical calculators, patient information leaflets and some procedural videos.
The mobile app is available to all NHS staff and authentication requires a personal account, which can be created whilst on-site on a KGH PC, or whilst logged in with an NHS OpenAthens account. Works offline.
EBSCO Mobile
The EBSCO Mobile app allows you to search for journal articles in a range of library databases, and access full-text where available. The databases include Medline, CINAHL, and the Psychology and Behavioural Sciences Collection.
Once you’ve downloaded the app, click ‘Get Started’, select your institution (Kettering General Hospital Foundation Trust NOT Kettering general hospital), and then login with your NHS OpenAthens account. You can also create a free personal account to save items and synchronise these with the EBSCOhost desktop version.
Adobe Digital Editions
Adobe Digital Editions is required to download e-books on the ProQuest Ebook Central to your mobile device for offline reading. Free registration for an Adobe ID required, and an NHS OpenAthens account is required to access and download e-books to your device. Our guide to downloading e-books gives more details.
