Healthcare evidence and knowledge now a simple search away - NHS Knowledge and Library Hub

The new, Health Education England funded NHS Knowledge and Library Hub brings together a vast range of databases, journals, NICE guidance and other support tools in one place.

Designed to give quick and easy access through a secure online platform, we hope this will help practitioners, trainees and students with their professional development and evidence-based care.

•            over 7,000 journals

•            books and e-publications, including OUP handbooks

•            one-click access to full-text, request a copy or contact an NHS library

•            clinical decision support tools such as BMJ Best Practice

•            NICE pathways and guidelines

•            databases like Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL and PsycInfo.
