UpToDate are providing access for all to STREP A content

UpToDate are providing access to the latest evidence-based content in UpToDate in relation to Strep A to all clinicians and organisations, including those that do not currently subscribe to UpToDate. This is to support busy clinicians as they continue to work through this challenging winter period.

As with all UpToDate clinical content the topics are written by experts in their field and the content is reviewed and updated as new evidence becomes available to support clinicians in reaching a diagnosis and treating patients who present with suspected Strep A quickly and effectively.

HSE clinicians do have full access to the resource, however they may find it useful to bookmark the following links as they have been grouped into Strep A topics, so please do forward the content onto them.
