Using the TRIP database - new videos

By

 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.

Access

TRIP database is freely available on the Internet. Some features and extra content are available for the PRO version only. The PRO version is available to all NHS staff via NHS OpenAthens username / password.

Search Features

You can use the Search box to enter simple search terms. You can use boolean operators such as AND, OR and NOT to combine search terms, use phrase searching with quotes and truncation searching using the * (asterisk) wildcard. You can try the advanced search feature for more options.

Click the PICO tab to complete a search by entering your PICO search terms for patient characteristics (P), intervention or treatment (I), comparison intervention (C) and outcome (O).

All items matching your search criteria are presented on the results page. Focus your results by selecting the filters, such as evidence type or clinical area or date range.

Watch the new videos

To get the most out of TRIP, start with these videos:

  • Part One - A short, high-level introduction to the site
  • Part Two - A longer and more in-depth look at the site
