Online evidence

Online evidence tools are available to inform patient care, service improvement, research, teaching and study.

These include databases of research articles, guidelines, systematic reviews and statistics, as well as evidence-based summaries for use at the point of care.

Accessing resources

For many of the resources you will need an NHS OpenAthens username and password.

Getting started

For a comprehensive search (for patient care, research or service improvement) we recommend using the resources on the right-hand side.

We offer teaching and training on these tools. Or we can carry out an evidence search for you if it is not for a course or assignment.

For a quick search for journal articles on a topic use the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub.
