ABOUT THIS SITE

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. NHS Evidence went live on April 30th 2009 at www.evidence.nhs.uk.

As part of ongoing developments, the specialist libraries are changing their names and will, as a group, be called specialist collections. This individual collection is now  ’NHS Evidence – mental health’,  and you will continue to be able to access all the content and features. The existing URL for the collection will remain for now, but is likely to change later in the year as the specialist collections become fully integrated with the NHS Evidence portal.   

For more information about NHS Evidence, please follow this link to the NICE website: http://www.nice.org.uk/aboutnice/nhsevidence/AboutNHSEvidence.jsp
