e-communication and clinical information solutions developer EPG Health Media, UK, has announced the launch of a new interactive contraception knowledge centre within the web-based physician resource www.epgonline.org.
Sanctioned by the European Medical Association (EMA), EPG Online is a free educational service dedicated to providing healthcare professionals (HCPs) with access to best practice diagnosis and patient management guidance. This independent service provides access to a range of EU pharmaceutical drug data via an innovative search tool.
The EPG contraception knowledge centre is designed to help general practitioners, nurses and other healthcare workers in the UK to communicate with patients about contraception needs and ensure the patient is able to make an informed and considered choice. Detailed information is provided on all methods of contraception currently available, including hormonal and non-hormonal methods for women, male contraception, emergency contraception and surgery. Content also includes NICE guidelines, case studies and a KOL webcast.
The new contraception knowledge centre is the latest addition to the EPG Online 'library' of more than twenty knowledge centres. Other disease knowledge centres focus on a range of chronic and acute conditions including asthma, pain, hypertension, renal anaemia, migraine, diabetes and various types of cancer. In addition to disease knowledge centres, EPG Online includes a database of drugs (searchable by name and indication), clinical trials, guideline information and original medical news articles.
