Ask Nursing Times instantly interrogates our website of more than 6,000 double-blind peer-reviewed articles, as well as news, features and opinion, to try and find you the answer.

Powered by artificial intelligence, the new tool then gives a short summary in response to your question and cites the articles that it is sourced from for further reading.

It also suggests additional questions and articles that might be of interest to you, based on your original question, which the tool can then provide too.
