KnowledgeShare for Evidence Updates

Remember that you can request KnowledgeShare Updates – you can register your interested topics; then emails including links to a range of different types of information on those topics will be sent to your inbox. Topics include education, management and leadership, information management, patient experience, quality improvement, safety, service design and much more. Complete our form to make your request.

Keeping up-to-date with journals

You can sign-up to receive regular table of content updates for individual journal titles. You will receive an email notification when a new issue is published along with links to the articles in that issue. If you are already registered for KnowledgeShare Evidence Updates you can add journal table of contents updates to your profile (if available). Just let me know which journals you are interested in. You’ll find a list of healthcare-based journals on our Browzine list (note that we do not subscribe to the full list).
