3) NeLH web site hosted by NISS officially launched on 1st March 2001
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Following negotiations with the NHS (NeLH), EduServ have been awarded
the contract to host the NeLH web site. The National electronic Library
for Health is a new NHS web site for health professionals providing
up-to-date best practice information on diagnosis and treatment and is
working with NHS Libraries to develop a digital library for NHS staff,
patients and the public. This site is now live.
The NeLH provides access to the Clinical Evidence and the Cochrane
Library databases.
* Clinical Evidence has been licensed for all NHS staff and service
providers in the NHS in England and Scotland. It provides a regularly
updated guide to evidence about the effectiveness of care.
* The Cochrane Library is an electronic publication designed to supply
high quality evidence to inform people providing and receiving care, and
those responsible for research, teaching, funding and administration at
all levels.
The web site is hosted at www.nelh.nhs.uk. The server will be
maintained and managed within the NISS division of EduServ.
The Cochrane Library is also hosted by NISS and is freely available to
users, UK HE England, UK FE England and NHS England via Athens at URL
http://www.nelh.nhs.uk/cochrane.asp. Sites registered under Athens have
now been allocated access. This service has been funded by the NeLH for
an initial period of one year. The database content will be updated
quarterly. Further discussions are taking place to extend this
arrangement to other parts of the UK.
4) New Athens NHS web site
--------------------------
A new Athens Access Management System service and website for NHS users
is now available at http://www.athens.nhs.uk
