Cardiology Evidence Update

October 2016

Announcement
 
Healthcare Databases Advanced Search.
The Healthcare Databases Advanced Search (HDAS)  now has a new look.
HDAS, which allows you to search for content across Healthcare databases such as Medline, Embase, PsychInfo and British Nursing Index has been redesigned. The UHL Libraries and Information Services are offering training over the next 3 weeks on using the new system.
For further information please see here.
Do you have any research needs? Please do contact your Cardiology Librarian, Keith Nockels on 0116 258 5558 or keith.nockels@uhl-tr.nhs.uk
