National Library for Health announces changes to health news analysis service

On the 31st March 2008 the National Library for Health’s ‘Hitting the Headlines’ health news service, which was provided by the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination came to an end on. 

The good news is that the National Library for Health will continue to provide users with access to high quality news analysis via the ‘Behind the Headlines’ service provided by NHS Choices.  This service is now available on the NLH homepage.  In addition to this, the searchable ‘Hitting the Headlines’ archive will be retained.

‘Behind the Headlines’ provides an unbiased and evidence-based analysis of health stories that make the news on a daily basis and will work to the standards developed by the ‘Hitting the Headlines’ to enhance their service even further.

The National Library for Health would like to thank the team at the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination at The University of York for all their efforts over the years in providing ‘Hitting the Headlines’ and we look forward to working with colleagues at NHS Choices going forward.

Regards,

The National Library for Health
