Welcome to the Eyes and Vision Specialist Collection
Provided by NICE, NHS Evidence is a new service which will develop, enhance and expand the services that were previously provided by the National Library for Health (NLH).
The NLH and its specialist libraries became part of NHS Evidence on 1 April 2009. Release 1 of the NHS Evidence portal and search engine went live on 30 April 2009 at www.evidence.nhs.uk and release 2 providing new personalisation features and the launch of the NHS Evidence accreditation mark in October 2009.
NHS Evidence - eyes and vision is accessible 24/7 to any generalist or specialist health professional involved in eye health care e.g. GP, casualty officer/houseman/SHO, high street optometrist, as well as ophthalmologists, orthoptists and nurses. The purpose of the library is to find, organise, and facilitate access to the best currently available evidence on eye health in order to
support and inform clinical care in NHS England. The library provides access to online resources produced, commissioned or licensed by the NHS (e.g. Health Technology Assessment
reports, NICE guidelines, National Service Frameworks, Centre for Reviews and Dissemination abstracts, the Cochrane Library); and
professional body publications.
