TRIP (Turning Research into Practice) is a clinical search tool which can help you to quickly find high quality research evidence to support practice. It searches a range of healthcare resources and publishers and presents results which can be organised in evidence type, such as systematic reviews, guidelines, primary research, controlled trials etc. TRIP is freely available online and NHS staff have access to TRIP Pro via the NHS network. We've updated  our TRIP help page , so you can now find our quick introductory leaflet as well as links to TRIP videos to help you get started.
