Get good quality, healthcare specialist information and research quickly – search our databases.
What are databases?
Database contain bibliographic information around a wide
range of, often subject specialist, journals. You can use a range of tools
available via the database interface to search for articles on your topic.
Tools include: free-text searching, thesaurus or subject
term searching, options to combine keywords and searches, and filters such as
date of publication and patient characteristics to focus your search. Most
databases allow you to set up alerts so that you are notified when new material
is added and you can save and share your search results.
We subscribe to healthcare databases to help you to find
good quality information in your specialist areas.
