Examples across specialties

CliniSearch is tuned for the day-to-day questions clinicians ask, not just textbook headings.

General practice

Rapid answers for CKD, diabetes, contraception, vaccinations, and referral thresholds. Each response cites the exact NICE section so you can double-check wording during the consult.

  • • CKD referral thresholds based on ACR/GFR bands
  • • Vaccinations in pregnancy with Green Book citations
  • • Inhaler step-ups/downs with links to asthma guidelines

Women’s health & paediatrics

RCOG and NICE coverage for early pregnancy, miscarriage, contraception, and paediatric red flags—grounded in current UK guidance.

  • • Early pregnancy safety netting (RCOG) with escalation triggers
  • • Emergency contraception windows and contraindications
  • • Paediatric respiratory distress markers with NICE citations

Acute and peri-op

Fast retrieval for sepsis bundles, LMWH durations, post-op antibiotics, and peri-op anticoagulation. Built to surface the most used lines while keeping the underlying guideline visible.

  • • Peri-op DOAC interruption rules with timing tables
  • • LMWH durations after hip/knee replacement with BOA/NICE references
  • • Sepsis red flags with escalation criteria and fluid bolus guidance

Governance & audit

Every example answer carries citations, version metadata, and specialty tags. Audit exports show who searched what and which guideline sections informed the answer.

  • • Citation links to the exact paragraph and version
  • • Activity logging ready for QI, CQC, and Trust reporting
  • • Specialty filters to keep answers in scope

How to get the best answers

Short prompts work best when paired with the clinical intent and population.

Include context

Add patient group, timing, and setting: “Type 2 diabetes, CKD ACR 30, when to start ACEi?” or “Post-op THR, LMWH duration”.

Follow the links

Each answer links to the source guideline so you can verify wording or copy it directly into notes with confidence.

Save what you use

Star frequent questions to reuse during clinic, and export the audit trail if you need to evidence guideline use.
