SEARCH BOX

Consider the following when entering your keyword(s):

  • Use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase, e.g. “whole genome sequencing”.
  • Using upper- or lower-case letters (e.g. FLU, flu) gives the same results. 
  • Using several keywords give search results containing all of those keywords.

SORT AND FILTER

  • Narrow your search results using the filter groupings: Category, Group of diseases, Public health topic and Date.
  • Selecting values within the same filter grouping e.g. ‘news’ and ‘multimedia’ will display all the results for news or multimedia.
  • Selecting values across filter groupings e.g. ‘news’ and ‘respiratory diseases’ will display news related to respiratory diseases.
  • Sort your search results by relevance or recency using the menu on the top right of the search page.
