New Look for NHS Evidence

NHS Evidence (www.evidence.nhs.uk) has had a revamp.

 

Access to full-text e-journals and the ability to search databases including Medline, CINAHL and PsycInfo is still available (just click "journals and databases" link).

You can still search across a limited, but high quality set of resource using the search box - you'll get access to resources from accredited sources such as NICE, SIGN and Royal Colleges. (it beats having to struggle through '00,000s of hits via some well known search engines!)

But now you can browse the A-Z topics and get a focused view including an introduction to the top, quick access to Guidance, Information for the Public, Ongoing Research and Medicines using the expanding sections.

Also new are the NICE Pathways
"NICE pathways represents a network of NICE information. 
For example, the diet pathway links up with the physical activity pathway; the COPD pathway links up with the smoking pathway. Over time, all of NICE's guidance, quality standards and related tools will be added to this network of information. For the first time you do not need to understand how NICE classifies different types of guidance to view everything NICE has said on a particular topic."
(if you ever used Map of Medicine, you'll like this!)
