Browse for a journal title

Use Browzine to browse for journal titles. This tool contains hundreds of journal titles, including the titles we subscribe to. Search for a title, view the issues and link directly to our subscription. It’s the easiest way to get to our content.

For any titles or issues not included in our subscription you will be prompted to make a request – this is sent to our team and they will try to get a copy for you.

Browse your list of journals by using the links to Browzine on our journals page.

Find full-text for an article

To find the full-text of a particular article use the tools on our Articles for the NHS page. Search by DOI, Pubmed ID, journal title or article title. The link options provided will take you straight to our subscription and prompt you to log in. If we do not subscribe to the article you’ll be prompted to make a request. Our team will try to find you a copy.
