During your studies or your work, you’ll need to get good quality, up-to-date information for your assignments, research, current practice and professional development. You can use databases to find the key information you need.
Bibliographic databases contain the details of thousands of
articles. Sophisticated search tools help you to find the latest research, best
practice, commentary and professional support for your healthcare topics.
Databases offer you these essential benefits:
Subject Specific
Databases are often specific to healthcare subjects,
covering medicine, nursing, midwifery and allied health. We subscribe to a wide
range of databases to support you.
Run searches
You can run searches to efficiently and effectively find the
information you need. A range of tools help to focus your search results.
Save results
You can save your search results and searches to return to
or re-run later.
Set alerts
Set alerts on your searches to receive updates of new
content that match your search criteria.
Access full-text
You can easily get to the full-text. You’ll find links to
the full-text of articles within our subscriptions, by using our subscribed
databases.
