The results are in!
We recently asked our twitter followers which JRCALC product they find the most useful when on call… These were the options:
- JRCALC Clinical Guidelines 2019
- JRCALC Clinical Guidelines 2019 Pocket Book
- JRCALC App
After a huge response on Twitter, with over 130 votes, it was a close call between the JRCALC Pocket Book and the JRCALC app (iCPG/Plus) .
Here is everything you need to know about the three:
