Reference Cards
The Reference Cards were developed using the same process as that outlined for the Clinical Information Sheets . The Reference Cards are designed to be used in conjunction with the appropriate Clinical Information Sheet. Because the evidence base and availability of national guidelines for clinical care and multidisciplinary service delivery is rapidly changing, we strongly recommend that the these Reference Cards be regularly reviewed and revised as with Clinical Information Sheets. The following Reference Cards are available:
