 Searching Browzine Is the best way to find the table of contents for NHS journal issues. You can see a list of recent issues and the table of contents including links to articles. However, we have noticed that an error can occur when trying to link to articles for the most recently published issue. The error may look different depending on the host platform for the article. It usually presents as a form of “not found” error. We believe that this happens when an issue has been published on Browzine before it has been published on the platform. Therefore the article is not listed on the platform yet. An example of the platform may be Ovid, Ebsco or Proquest. There should only be a delay of a day or two before the issue is available on the platform. Please contact the Health Library if you are having any problems accessing full-text articles.

 All elements of the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub have now been implemented by Health Education England Library and Knowledge Service (HEE LKS). The Hub is a discovery service allowing NHS users to search across a range of selected resources. You can then either link directly to full-text, when a subscription is available, or make a request for a copy of the full-text. The service uses LibKey Browzine to present full-text options. We are still encountering some problems, so just to make you aware: Print Journal Titles Print journal titles are not being displayed in a helpful manner within the Hub. This means that you can't tell if a title is available on the shelf within the library. This has been reported and we are assured that a fix will be provided [INC-1683]. Please note that all print journals, including holdings available, are also listed on Library Search . Journals available via IP address access We have 2 journals titles that are not available via OpenAthens login and ar...
