Subject: [Content] NHS Evidence: October Annual Evidence Updates
******apologies for cross posting*******
The NHS Evidence Specialist Collections have been developed to identify and meet the information needs of particular communities of practice. They are web-based collections containing clinical and non-clinical information on the major health priority areas. Each specialist collection identifies and provides access to quality assessed information of relevance to the community that it serves. An aspect of this involves the production of Annual Evidence Updates, which aim to highlight the best current evidence for selected healthcare topics. Annual Evidence Updates consist of the good quality evidence from a search of research evidence on a particular topic over a 12 month period, plus user-friendly summaries written by relevant experts, and links to guidelines, secondary research and primary research, if applicable. All information included in Annual Evidence Updates has been subject to rigorous selection criteria.
The calendar of Annual Evidence Updates until March 2011 (last updated 27 August 2010) is available at www.library.nhs.uk/forlibrarians/sl<http://www.library.nhs.uk/forlibrarians/sl>.
The following Annual Evidence Updates are scheduled for October:
4-8 October 2010
Annual Evidence Update on Heart Failure: NHS Evidence - cardiovascular
Following on from the partial update of NICE's Heart Failure guidelines in August 2010 and our last evidence update in October 2009 this update for health professionals and patients will present significant advances in knowledge about heart failure. Topics will include diagnosis, pharmacology, organisation of care, devices, rehabilitation, palliative care and psychology. There will also be a section on uncertainties identified and, as usual, expert summaries will be included to help make sense of the new evidence presented.
