Trip PRO is a clinical search engine designed to allow users to quickly find and use high-quality research evidence to support their practice and/or care. Trip has been online since 1997 and in that time has developed into a source of evidence-based content. As well as research evidence it also allows clinicians to search across other content types including images, videos, patient information leaflets, educational courses and news. Trip Pro is an upgraded offering that takes the free version of Trip and includes more content, more functionality, no adverts.
The Trip Medical Database is free. However, to access the enhanced features of the PRO version, log in to an OUH Trust PC and go to the Trip website for automatic access to the Pro version.
