Your starting point to find the evidence you need online

The NHS England funded NHS Knowledge and Library Hub (Discovery service) brings together a vast range of databases, journals, NICE guidance and other support tools in one place.  It is the place we suggest starting your inital search for articles or topics. 

The benefits include access to:

  • Over 7,000 journals
  • One-click access to full-text, request a copy or contact an NHS library - a feature used by many ESNEFT staff 
  • eBooks and e-publication listings
  • Clinical decision support tools such as BMJ Best Practice
  • Databases such as Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL and PsycInfo.
