Swine Flu resources from ClinicalKey

You may have read today the article in The Guardian  or similar news story regarding the H1N1 infected patients at Leicester Royal Infirmary’s haematology wards, which has led LRI to decide to close three wards for new patients and restrict visits.

To help your clinicians respond to the spread of H1N1 and to protect immunosuppressed patients receiving treatment in your hospital, I have put together the following information from ClinicalKey with valuable guidance to face a possible H1N1 infection and a simple Athens login instruction for your users.
