A range of our resources for NHS customers are purchased by NHS England as a national Core Content offering. At the end of June 2025, the content of the core collection is changing.
You may find
some resources are no longer available to you. Specifically affected are the
Oxford Handbooks e-books and access to a range of ProQuest databases.
Some Oxford
Handbooks are being replaced by locally purchased e-book access. We also have a
range of Oxford Handbooks available in print from the health libraries.
To find our
local resources - in the NHS Knowledge and Libraries Hub search for Oxford
Handbook. Then select the limiter 'Library Catalogue only'. Limiters are
located on the left hand side of the screen. Both local e-books and print books
will then show in the results.
The Knowledge
and Library Hub can be accessed via this link NHS Knowledge and Libraries Hub or by clicking on the Knowledge and
Libraries Hub icon on the desktop on a UHNM computer.
Note: The
Knowledge and Library Hub is having a new interface in the summer 2025. So the screen
may possibly look like the below. In which case to get to the ‘Library
Catalogue only’ limiter – click on ‘All filters’ at the top, and then in the pop-up
pane select the ‘Library Catalogue only’ filter and click apply.
Further information
about the new interface will be released later.
ProQuest
databases:
Unfortunately
we cannot replace most of the NHS accessible ProQuest databases - but a range
of other databases will still be available and discoverable via the NHS
Knowledge and Libraries Hub.
