Information scanning is a very useful skill for general practitioners to have, whether the aim is to keep up-to-date for clinical reasons or to undertake research. It is both easy to learn and adaptable to your information needs. In this article we use a specific example to describe information scanning as GPs may use it, and then discuss the topic more broadly. We also provide some clues on keeping the information useful and manageable.
