NHS Evidence

Image
By
As a result of the Hill Report, the National Library for Health (NLH) has recently under gone a merger with NICE to form NHS Evidence.

The new simple NHS Evidence search is designed with a Google-like interface with numerous options for refinement of results. Further developments to the site are expected throughout the year. In the meantime it will be running in tandem with the new rebranded NLH website. Currently this site is open to all, but some material will later be hidden behind the NHS Athens login.

Please contact the Health Library to enquire about update training, or book onto our Health Information on the Internet course to find out more.

Please remember that there is a dedicated Outreach team to support community based training in the workplace.
