The Library
The Purus Articles
Free education for patients, clinicians, and anyone the UK CBPM system affects.
The Purus Articles began with device care. The part of the CBPM pathway that has no national standard, no clinical guidance, and no infrastructure. That gap is where this library started. It does not end there.
The library grows with every article. Every article is free. Where articles draw on published research, guidance, or existing literature, sources are named on the article. Where articles are written from experience and informed insight, that is made clear. Contributors with relevant expertise are credited by name. If you have something valuable to add to any subject covered here, we want to hear from you.
