The Healthcare Databases Advance Search (HDAS) is the interface the NHS uses for literature searching healthcare databases such as Medline, the British Nursing Index or PsychInfo.
After extensive testing, NICE have finally decided to decommission the old version, and it will be no longer available from Friday the 3rd of March.
The good news is the newer version of HDAS is a great improvement on the old one whilst still providing access to lots of full text content. Easier to use, more intuitive and with better reliability, if you haven't already tried it out you can find it here. Like the previous version, you will need an OpenAthens account.
There is lots of help available for using the new interface. We run training workshops on literature searching in various locations each month and can even arrange a one to one session if you can't make any of the dates.
If you can't make a training session, NICE have produced a series of short tutorial videos covering the new interface which you can find on YouTube, as well as both a quick guide and more detailed full user guide.
