New training courses for UHNM staff

Learn how to use Health Library resources for research, studies and to improve your clinical practice. We have some new courses available for UHNM staff.

NHS KNOWLEDGE AND LIBRARY HUB
The Knowledge and Library Hub let's you search multiple healthcare resources including NHS Core content and UHNM subscribed resources. This includes searching for the full text of journal articles and a brief look at databases and point of care tools such as BMJ Best Practice.

LITERATURE SEARCHING IN MEDLINE DATABASE
This 1 to 1 session focuses on searching the medicine databases for health literature. This session includes running and saving a search, accessing full text journals and where to search next.

SEARCHING THE COCHRANE LIBRARY FOR SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS AND RANDOMISED CONTROL TRIALS
This brief 1 to 1 session will show you how to conduct and search in Cochrane Library and save your results.

CLINICAL KEY
The clinical search engine for ebooks, ejournals, clinical overviews, topic summaries, videos and patient information leaflets.

RCT JOURNAL CLUB: HINTS AND TIPS
A general overview of places to look for bias in a Randomised Control Trial for beginners. A useful recap for journal club members. The session touches on statistics and is intended to form part of the learner's journey rather than a comprehensive course.

Sessions are available online or face-to-face. For details of how to arrange your training session please go to our UHNM training page.
