What resources are searched through the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub?

By

 The NHS Knowledge and Library Hub is the new discovery service to help you to find information and evidence from a selection of NHS subscribed resources. It is supplied by Ebsco and includes searching items from Ebsco's Knowledge Base.

These datasets do not include all the bibliographic databases purchased nationally or locally.  They include CINAHL and Medline which are supplied by EBSCO. However they do not include the databases supplied by ProQuest and Wolters Kluwer (Ovid) such as BNI and EMBASE.  This also means that BNI, EMBASE etc are not available when you select to 'Limit by Databases' in a search.

HEE have released a list of all the current resources which are searched within the Hub; note that this does not mean all items are available in full-text:
