There are 4 online versions of the Manual you can access from the ‘Contents' tab on the main menu.

 

Version 3 is the version best suited to most devices, especially mobiles and tablets. It has a fully responsive format that changes layout according to screen/window size, and navigation and display that is best suited to the widest range of devices. This version also has predictive text search and page bookmarking features.

 

Version 1 also works well on most high powered devices and also has a responsive format that changes layout according to screen/window size.

 

Version 2 is best suited for devices with fewer features, and may run a bit quicker. As it is not responsive in format, it can be hard to use on devices with small screens. It is no longer updated, with the last update being in August 2018, so is not recommended.

 

Legacy version. This version is the old version of the online manual that has not been updated since October 2014. It remains because some of the answers of the MCQs and EMQs have links to its pages and it requires the lowest bandwidth to access – however it is not recommended as a source of contemporary clinical information.

Sections cannot be downloaded directly from the Manual. You can however save a chapter or section as a PDF file from the Print menu. To open the PDF file on your device a reader such as Adobe Reader is required.
