Annual Evidence Updates for September

After a summer break, the schedule for Annual Evidence Updates (AEUs) is up and running again. AEUs are produced by NHS Evidence's Specialist Collections, and consist of good-quality evidence selected from the research published on a particular topic over a 12 month period. They also often include user-friendly summaries written by relevant experts and links to guidelines and other information.

Here is a list of the Annual Evidence Updates due to be published this month. Visit the websites on the day of publication and see the information available. If there is an update in your area, you won't have to do a literature search because the Specialist Collections will have done all the hard work for you!
