Looking for a particular journal or article - Use Browzine to view NHS Journals

By
Do you need to find the full-text of an article? Do you want to view the latest issue of a journal title?

You can view NHS-based journal titles using Browzine.

Browzine is an online resource which allows you to search for journal titles and check the access options for journal articles. You may be able to:
  • Access full-text via a PDF download
  • Link to the full-text online
  • Request a copy from the Health Library

Some content presented will be freely available as open access content; some will be subscribed content and you will need to log in using your NHS OpenAthens username. Some content will not be available and you can submit an article request to the library. We will then try to locate a copy from another library.
 
How to access Browzine
You will need to link to the version of Browzine that is set up for your NHS organization.
We support NHS staff who work for:
  • University Hospitals of North Midlands
  • North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare
  • GPs, GP practices and CCGs within Staffordshire
 
You can find the links to Browzine on our web pages:
 
Search for a Journal Title
