Literature Search
Request a Literature Search!
We can conduct a Literature Search for you (staff only) using all the major healthcare databases (PsycINFO, Medline, Embase, CINAHL etc), as well as searching other sources such as Cochrane Library, grey literature (reports, statistics etc) and point of care tools such as BMJ Best Practice.
We offer two types of Literature Searches, a Standard Literature Search, which offers an exhaustive approach, (within the parameters you set, date range etc) OR a Bite-Size Literature Search, which sends you only the most relevant, recent articles.
You may need a Literature Search for the following reasons:
- Service user care
- Service delivery/improvement
- Service user/carer information
- Research
- Presentation
- Teaching session
- CPD
- Quality improvement project
