Global healthcare knowledge provider BMJ is offering a range of free online resources to support healthcare workers tackling the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa – as well as for health professionals outside affected regions who want to keep up to date with the latest developments and learn more about the virus and how to spot it.
Resources include latest news, updates and interviews with experts on the outbreak from The BMJ and BMJ Journals – as well as latest guidance for healthcare workers from the UK's Health Protection Agency and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
BMJ Best Practice has made its Ebola content freely available for quick access to the latest and most accurate information about the virus and how best to treat it. The aim is to support health professionals working on the frontline in affected regions of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Content will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis by BMJ's expert team of clinicians, based on the latest scientific evidence.
For health professionals outside affected regions, online learning modules from BMJ Learning and BMJ OnExamination offer guidance on how to recognise who is most at risk and how to manage suspected cases of Ebola in primary care. For doctors wishing to volunteer abroad, BMJ Careers also provides important information and links to relevant organisations.
