NHS Evidence has changed – new guide available
Updated 19 July 2011
The NHS Evidence| website has been relaunched with improved functionality.
NHS Evidence is a service that enables access to authoritative clinical and non-clinical evidence and best practice through a web-based portal. It helps people from across the NHS, public health and social care sectors to make better decisions as a result. NHS Evidence is managed by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)|.
Access to the major healthcare online databases, e-books, and hundreds of e-journals, is available via the Journals and Databases page on the new site. You must log in with your NHS Athens username/password to access all databases, e-books and e-journals. The main interfaces for searching for books, journals and articles remain unchanged.
Specialist Collections have been replaced by topic pages which bring together different kinds of information on the same subject, such as this one on bipolar disorder:
The search engine also features new functionality.
NICE Pathways| are now incorporated into NHS Evidence. An online tool for health and social care professionals, NICE Pathways brings together all connected NICE guidance on specific topics in a user-friendly electronic flowchart. NICE Pathways will allow users to quickly view and navigate NICE guidance and other tools on any given topic across an entire care pathway.
We will be revising our user guides and training, but in the meantime here is a quick guide to the new site:
