PACK Guide
Primary care at point of care
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Search symptoms, follow step-by-step algorithms, and access adult and child PACK guidelines offline — on iPhone or iPad, wherever you consult.
PACK brings the Practical Approach to Care Kit to your iPhone and iPad — a trusted clinical decision support tool used by primary care clinicians across South Africa and beyond.
Whether you are managing an emergency, working through a presenting complaint, or reviewing routine and chronic care, PACK helps you find the right guidance quickly at the point of care.
DESIGNED FOR CLINICIANS
PACK is built for doctors, nurses, clinical nurse practitioners, and other frontline primary care providers. Content follows a symptom-based approach aligned with national and provincial policy, helping you assess, diagnose, treat, and refer with confidence.
TWO GUIDEBOOKS IN ONE APP
• Adult — emergencies, symptoms A–Z, TB, HIV, COVID-19, cardiometabolic conditions, mental health, women’s health, palliative care, and more
• Child — emergencies, symptoms A–Z, routine care, nutrition, TB, HIV, allergy, special needs, medications, and more
Switch instantly between Adult and Child from the home screen.
FIND WHAT YOU NEED FAST
• Full-text search across symptoms, conditions, and medicines
• Symptoms A–Z index for presenting complaints
• One-tap access to Emergencies
• Colour-coded sections that mirror the printed PACK guide
• Tap cross-references to jump between related topics
INTERACTIVE CLINICAL ALGORITHMS
Step through decision trees question by question — a guided alternative to static PDF flowcharts, with a visible trail of your choices so you can review your path.
RICH CLINICAL CONTENT
Each topic includes structured guidance: urgent actions, checklists, step-by-step management, tables, dosing information, callouts, and reference images including growth charts and emergency diagrams.
WORKS OFFLINE
All content is bundled in the app. No internet connection is required to browse, search, or use algorithms — ideal for clinics, outreach sites, and on-call settings.
OPTIMISED FOR IPAD
On iPad, PACK uses a three-column layout so you can browse sections, read topics, and follow cross-references side by side.
IMPORTANT
PACK is a clinical reference tool intended for qualified healthcare professionals. It does not replace clinical judgement, local protocols, or senior consultation. Always verify dosing, contraindications, and local formulary guidance before prescribing. In an emergency, follow your facility’s resuscitation and escalation procedures.
Content is based on the PACK clinical guides. Guidelines evolve — confirm you are using the edition appropriate to your setting and local policy.
