A new
specialist evidence service to replace the Specialist Collections of NHS
Evidence
As you know the
National Library for Public Health provides access to specialised information
on behalf of NICE (NHS Evidence).
From May
2011, NICE (NHS Evidence) will launch a new specialist evidence service to
replace the existing Specialist Collections.
The new
service will be easy to search and provide access to a much wider choice of
quality specialist evidence content.
Users will be
able to browse new clinical and public health topic pages – developed by experts
- which will bring together the latest guidelines, high quality patient
information, ongoing trials and other selected information including access to
NICE pathways. NICE Pathways will allow users to easily visualise and
browse associated NICE products online, guided through supporting documents
making NICE guidance easier to navigate.
The National
Library for Public Health will continue to operate, resourced by the North East
Public Health Observatory, (NEPHO). However, from May 2011 the National Library
for Public Health web pages will no longer exist as the specialist resources
for public health will be accessible via the redesigned NHS Evidence site. If you have added the National Library for
Public Health web pages to your bookmarks and favourites then these links will
work until early May 2011 but they will then be redirected to the main NHS
Evidence site.
The purpose of this
newsletter is to highlight new additions to the library and any special pieces
of work we have done. We hope you find this useful and would welcome any comments.We are now using mailing list software to manage and maintain our contacts. If
you would like to be added or removed from our mailing list, please visit our mailing list manager.

From April 2011, if you have queries you can contact
NHS Evidence directly by emailing [log in to unmask] or calling 0845 003 77 44
Alternatively, if you have a query relating to public health
resources or topics please contact us at [log in to unmask]
SEPHO - South East Public Health Observatory has published the Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Profiles
The profilies provide a snapshot of key issues relating to heart disease and stroke, including
incidence, mortality, risk factors, treatments and costs. These profiles have
been designed to help local health services to assess the impact of these
elements of cardiovascular disease on their local populations and the services
provided to meet those needs. They are intended to inform commissioning and
planning decisions to tackle CVD and improve the health of local communities.
They are available at local PCT level and at Cardiac Network level.
Consultations
Consultations on a number of public health topics are currently being run. Further details can be found via the links below:
