New website for the Health Library

Our new website is going live today!

The Health Library website is getting a new up-to-date look, keeping it in-line with the main Keele University look and feel.

You’ll still find the same content and services to help you get to the right resources, develop your skills and practice evidence-based medicine.

Some key changes:

  • The menu is now along the top – all the original content can be found by navigating the menu.
  • The Quick Links are listed centre-page. You’ll find the most important and popular links you’ll need here. They have been split into links for different user groups.
  • Keep scrolling – due to the changes in the page layout you may need to keep scrolling down to find all the content.
  • We’ve moved some sections together to reduce the number of top menu options – check the Specialist Support section for: Inter-Library Loan Service, Literature Search Service, NHS Outreach Service, More support for NHS Staff, Support for Keele academics and researchers

URL / web address changes:

There have been a few URL / web address changes for some pages – you may need to update your bookmarks. Main ones to look out for are:
  • Inter-Library Loans section
  • NHS Resources
  • The Information Skills eTutorials section has been re-arranged

Help the NHS understand how you access evidence - complete the survey

  NHS staff - Your help is required to build understanding of needs for access to evidence in the NHS. The national team for Knowledge and Library Services are researching how NHS staff currently access and use evidence. We have completed interviews with people from all parts of the team and in all settings across the NHS in England. The next phase of the research will seek to validate the needs that have been identified as a result. We want to understand the picture for clinical and non-clinical staff, students and apprentices, those in regular contact with their Knowledge and Library Service and those who are not. You can read about previous user research that informed the creation of the Knowledge and Library Hub and be assured that your input can make the difference. If you can help, please complete this brief survey The survey will close 12 April 2026
