Changes at NICE


 
As a result of changes at NICE, NHS Evidence is now called 'NICE Evidence Services'.

NICE Evidence Services aim to help professionals make better and quicker evidence-based decisions and are a suite of services that provide online access to high quality, authoritative evidence and best practice. The services are:


Evidence Searchwhich provides access to a unique index of selected and authoritative health and social care evidence-based information.

Healthcare Database Advanced Search (HDAS) – which provides access via a federated search to a set of bibliographic databases purchased by NICE on behalf of the NHS.

Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS) – which provide primary care practitioners with access to evidence-based guidance on over 300 key conditions presenting in primary care.

BNF microsite – which provides open access to BNF content across the UK.

• UK DUETS – a database of Evidence Uncertainties which provides research funders and researchers, access to the 'known unknowns' in the evidence base.

Bulletins, Alerts and Evidence Awareness service – which helps busy professionals keep up to date with important new evidence.
