Ärztenachrichtendienst (änd) is a German medical news and professional community platform for physicians. It provides timely reporting on healthcare policy, medicine, research, and developments affecting clinical practice, with coverage ranging from funding and regulation to new evidence, public health, and technology. Articles are organised into areas such as Berufspolitik, Medizin, and MedWissen, and readers can follow a news ticker or browse selected and recommended stories.

Alongside its editorial coverage, änd offers discussion forums where doctors can exchange views with colleagues and a “Kollegenfragen” section for professional questions across medical specialties. Topics include diagnosis and treatment, practice management, and healthcare policy. Community contributions and opinion polls give users additional ways to share perspectives and engage with current issues in medicine. The site also provides search and account sign-in functions. By combining news reporting with peer discussion, Ärztenachrichtendienst serves as an information and networking resource for physicians seeking updates on their profession and opportunities to learn from colleagues.
