CKS Updates - April 2023

During April 2023 Clinical Knowledge Summaries were published or updated in the following areas.

All of the topics have been reviewed and updated with minor structural and layout changes. The Blackouts and syncope topic has been renamed from Blackouts and the recommendations have been updated in line with current evidence in the literature. The Alopecia areata topic has been updated to include offering specialist referral for any person wishing to have treatment for alopecia areata and specific treatment advice for when more than 50% of the scalp is involved has been removed as no basis could be found for this advice.

Action: Clinicians who see patients with any of these conditions may find the new and updated information useful when reviewing current clinical practice.
