What is “in a nutshell”?
The website is a practice-oriented continuing education platform and reference work for professionals. Specialists are persons who are registered as doctors in the Medical Professional Register of the Federal Office of Public Health (MedReg) and have a valid Global Location Number (“GLN number”), such as in particular general practitioners and internists (“specialists”). The website provides professionals with easy and quick access to comprehensibly formulated, practice-oriented and practice-relevant information.

The information on this website, as well as information provided to professionals via the website or via linked communication tools such as “Ask Dr. Nuts” or in the “Digital Doctor’s Kit”, does not constitute advice in the medical, diagnostic or therapeutic sense and does not constitute advice, treatment or application recommendations for the individual case or instructions for such.
