Welcome

Welcome to the health management specialist collection, part of NHS Evidence. 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 is now live at www.evidence.nhs.uk.
