This site is intended for healthcare professionals

A young woman consults with a doctor in an office.

Find the answer while your patient is still in the room

Clinical questions rarely have no answer. They have too many, spread across guidelines, product information and search results you have no time to check.

GPnotebook is 35,000 short topic pages, written and maintained by practising GPs, so the question gets settled during the consultation rather than after it.

Why we built GPnotebook

You have ten minutes with the patient, and the thing you need to check is too specific to find quickly.

One place instead of six
Say you want to check what is known about anaemia in people taking metformin. There are several places you could look, none of which guarantees an answer. GPnotebook was built to solve that.
Short enough to read in the consultation
Bullet-point articles on specific clinical topics, not forty pages of guidance you have to skim for the paragraph that applies.
Written by people doing your job
Our content team are practising GPs. They have already discarded the material that does not apply to primary care, so you do not have to.
