New NHS Evidence site

On the 1st April 2009 the National Library for Health (NLH) transferred over to NICE. The new site called NHS Evidence will replace the National Library for Health (NLH) site at the end of April.
NHS Evidence will build on the success of NLH and become the new portal for NHS staff from across the health and social care sector to find, access and use clinical and non-clinical evidence and other information of the highest quality. It will draw upon a comprehensive range of information sources (including local experience) that have been accredited to ensure quality of information.
