Simple searching in one place

Published Date: 13th February 2023

 

Looking for a journal, e-book, a full-text article, or maybe the latest NICE Guidance? Then have a look at the Knowledge and Library Hub – a one-stop gateway that will help you find and access all these, and more.

Now, with a NEW and easy to remember URL you can find local resources and links to:

• thousands of journals with one click to full text
• books and e-publications including OUP handbooks
• evidence searching tools like Medline, EMBASE and CINAHL
• clinical decision support tools such as BMJ Best Practice and UpToDate
• clinical guidelines and procedures

 

The shortcut URLs are different for each NHS organisation. Our Hub shortcut URLs are:

Primary care and ICB staff in Halton, Knowsley and St Helens - https://library.nhs.uk/hkshprimary

St Helens & Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust - https://library.nhs.uk/sthk

Log in with your NHS OpenAthens account to search across many different resources at the same time.
