AMED webinars for NHS staff

From 10 October 2024, the AMED database (for NHS users) will be available on both Dialog and ProQuest platforms. This development means that searchers can stay on their preferred platform to search AMED, PsycInfo, BNI and Medline and use just one My Research account for saved searches and results.

The new AMED database will feature in the ProQuest sessions delivered after 10 October:
  • 10 October, 10am - Mental Health information on Dialog – PsycInfo and other Psychology Databases
  • 22 October, 10am - Mental Health information on ProQuest – PsycInfo and other databases
  • 7 November, 10am - Biomedicine and Public Health information on ProQuest – Health Research Premium collection and Medline
  • 14 November, 10am - Plan and execute a systematic review search using ProQuest resources
For further details and bookings go to the NHS ProQuest LibGuide.
