Clinical answers at the bedside, study material behind them
The ClinicalKey Student reference package makes access to reliable answers straightforward for both health professionals and medical students. It runs from quick answers at the point of care through to comprehensive reference material, delivering up-to-date, evidence-based content that supports the clinician and the learner in one subscription.
Inside this resource
Answers when the patient is in front of you
The point-of-care side is built for speed and credibility — the kind of answer you can act on immediately, drawn from evidence-based content rather than an unverified summary.
The student edition in ClinicalKey Student reference
Alongside the clinical tool sits the student version with material structured for learning, so the same platform that answers a ward question also supports the systematic study behind understanding it.
Current by design
Content is maintained as evidence-based and up to date, which is the requirement for anything used at the point of care — stale guidance is worse than no guidance at all.
Who this serves
- Medical students — study material plus the clinical tool they will use later.
- Clinicians — fast, credible point-of-care answers.
- Teaching hospitals — one platform serving both learners and staff.

Fast and credible when I need an answer mid-clinic. Evidence-based throughout.
Dr. Sinead M. –
Point-of-care answers for work and the student material for teaching my juniors — one subscription doing two jobs properly.

Student edition is well structured, and getting used to the clinical tool early is an advantage.
Dr. Amara D. –
Good pairing. The student side made it worth choosing over plain ClinicalKey for our department.

Very useful. Two interfaces to learn rather than one, but each does its job well.
