General Guideline Databases

ECRI Guidelines Trust. Guidelines can be accessed after signing up for a free account; this is meant to be a replacement for the National Guideline Clearinghouse, whose funding ended in 2018.
NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence)
Topic- or Specialty-Specific Guideline Databases
American Psychiatric Association Practice Guidelines
Cancer Guidelines Database -- Canadian and international cancer guidelines
Canadian Diabetes Association: Clinical Practice Guidelines
Pediatric Clinical Practice Guidelines and Policies (2023 edition) from the American Academy of Pediatrics
SOGC (Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada) Clinical Practice Guidelines -- These are no longer available free on the Society website, but are part of our journal subscription. Go to Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada, click "online version", click the "go" button under Clinical Key on the following page, and then copy the title of the guideline into the search box just under the journal title to "search this journal". I would advise against using guideline numbers because these don't seem to be entered consistently.
