Therapeutic GuidelinesClick here to chat with a librarian

The Therapeutic Guidelines (formerly known as eTG Complete) provide peer-reviewed clinical guidelines to health practitioners for managing patients with specific conditions. Treatment guidelines emphasise pharmacological treatment, though non-pharmacological treatments are also covered. All common disorders are covered by the guidelines, with the information provided based on current evidence and opinion.
