Innovation databases

Most of the electronic resources to which we subscribe are accessible via the NICE Evidence Search Journals and Databases portal. From this website, you can access a range of electronic resources, including e-books, e-journals, systematic reviews and healthcare databases, such as Medline, EMBASE, HMIC and the Cochrane Library.

To access the databases you will first need to register for an NHS Athens account. If you already have an Athens account, but have forgotten your username or password? Contact us and we can re-set it for you.

Systematic reviews

Articles from journals marked in green are freely available or available in print in the library, or are available by using your NHS Athens account. You may need to click on 'Log in with Athens' to get an Athens login box.

If you don't have an NHS Athens account, you can register online, and if you do this on an NHS PC, you'll receive a confirmation email the same day.

Journals marked in orange aren't available online, but we hold print copies in the Library.

Journals marked in red aren't available online or in the Library but we can order articles via our Inter Library Loan Service. There is a small charge for this. Please contact the library on ext 5968 or email Library.InfoService@chelwest.nhs.uk for more information.
