A NEWS2 score is a NEWS2 score — regardless of who calculates it. Clinical calculators serve the entire MDT.
Universal calculators: NEWS2 (acute deterioration), CURB-65 (pneumonia severity), Wells score (DVT/PE), CHA₂DS₂-VASc (AF stroke risk), QRISK3 (cardiovascular risk), eGFR/CKD staging (renal function), AUDIT-C (alcohol), PHQ-9/GAD-7 (mental health), BMI.
Prescribing calculators (for IP clinicians): Dose adjustments, renal dosing, paediatric dosing — relevant to GPs, pharmacist IPs, ANP prescribers.
Tools: iatroX 84+ calculators (UK primary care designed, mobile-accessible), MdCalc (600+, US-centric defaults).
Mobile access essential. Calculators are needed during consultations — desktop-only tools are impractical.
Exam relevance: Calculator knowledge tested across MRCGP AKT, GPhC CRA, PANE, and V300 assessments.
iatroX's 84+ calculators serve all primary care clinicians on the same mobile platform.
