Calling all nurses & AHPs - help needed with a database trial

Health Education England have organised a trial of the Ovid EMcare database as part of the plan to re-procure the NHS national core content (electronic journals and databases available to all NHS staff in England) in 2019.

Depending on the results of the trial HEE may decide to procure EMcare along side, or instead of, the CINHAL database currently available.


EMCare holds over 3,700 full text journals covering nursing and allied health topics. This includes 1,800 titles not currently available in other databases (you can find a short introductory video here and a full list of all the journals on the database here).

For the trial HEE are particularly interested in the database interface and how easy you find it to search (the full text content is not actually accessible).

To access the EMcare trial go to http://demo.ovid.com/demo/lp/emcare_nhs/ You will need your OpenAthens password to log in.

To complete a short (6 questions) feedback survey on EMcare go to: https://healtheducationyh.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/emcaretrialsurvey

The trial is available now and runs until the 29th of January 2018.
