Consumer Health Complete

Tell me


Consumer Health Complete is an in-depth, user friendly resource designed to answer everyday consumer health questions. It covers all areas of health from mainstream medicine to alternative, holistic and integrated medicine.

Consumer Health Complete is similar in range and scope to Gale’s Health & Wellness. They both provide access to consumer health encyclopaedias and reference books, journals, pamphlets, multi-media as well as alternative health resources.

The main difference between the two, apart from the interface, is simply that each provides access to a different range of reference and journal titles. CHC supplies access to some more familiar titles such as the AMA Complete Medical Encyclopedia, Mayo Clinic Family Health Book and the Complete Guide to Prescription and Nonprescription Drugs.

NB It is important to remember that this database should not be viewed as a means for self-diagnosis or a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
