KnowledgeShare is our targeted current awareness service. Alerts are emailed out every fortnight. Your KnowledgeShare profile can be created to be as broad or specific as you need, and can be updated if your interests change. It can include non-clinical topics such as leadership, management, coaching, and research, as well as clinical conditions.
