National Heart Month brings to focus the importance of both healthcare providers and the public being well-versed in the clear signs of heart-related health issues. Early detection and diagnosis of these issues can often mean improved and prolonged life quality. Being able to share information with patients and their loved ones is a key step towards better cardiovascular health and awareness. Explore the hundreds of cardiovascular patient education content on ClinicalKey.

Understanding the intricacies of childhood mental health enables more compassionate, effective care. As young minds develop, psychosocial issues manifest uniquely in children compared to adults. Having visibility of the latest evidence-based approaches to paediatric health allows providers to fully understand and uplift their vulnerable patients. When healthcare professionals have meaningful awareness of the world from a child’s viewpoint, we can nurture their wellbeing and give them the tools to thrive.
