This page serves to list free medical apps for the iOS platform which are suitable for medical professionals, including doctors, nurses, medical students and paramedics. I have intentionally excluded trial-ware, apps which require a subscription, apps with very limited features unless one performs an “in-app purchase” or any “consumer grade” health apps not directed at medical professionals. The apps are grouped in sections and not in any order of preference or recommendation. The list is all in one page for quick easy reference and if you have a mobile device e.g. iPhone or iPad, will be presented in a Touch friendly format. This list is not meant to be exhaustive (though I shall strive to keep it updated) but if you come across one which is not here, please feel free to email me. Do let me know if there are any errors in the links or if there has been a price change and the apps are no longer available or free.
