New look to the National Library for Public Health
We have revamped our front page. It now lists more topic areas
where we have extensive public health collections. Further topics are in
development, but please note that we have public health pretty well covered
so if you don't see the topic you are interested in, try a search! You can
also send us feedback about the new look or the content - have you tried to
find resources and not found anything? Visit the new look website
and let us know how we are doing.
NHS Evidence needs your help
Provided by NICE, NHS Evidence is a web-based service that
provides easy access to high quality clinical and non-clinical information
about health and social care. NHS Evidence is looking for advisors to feed
back on how the search function is working in everyday practice so that it
continues to develop in line with user needs. Read more about the
Sources of Content Advisory Panel and how to apply.
Consultations
Consultations on a number of public health topics are
currently being run. Further details can be found via the links below.
Events
