Allied Health Professions day takes place on Thursday the 14th of October.
To celebrate the library service has put together a resource guide aimed at Allied Health Professionals with a wide variety of different resources to support clinical practice, education and research.
The guide covers a selection of the different resources the library has to support AHPs in lots of different disciplines. In it you'll find links to electronic journals, databases, books and relevant organisations.
If you are a physiotherapist, OT, podiatrist, radiographer, speech therapist or one of the many other varieties of AHP, we hope you'll find it useful.
You can find the guide on our website here.

Over 750 extra nursing and allied health electronic journals now available
In April you may recall the new National Core Content for NHS staff in England was released. Whilst we gained some great new resources such as BMJ Best Practice and the Psychology and Behavioural Sciences collection of journals, we also lost the CINAHL Plus with full text database.
When we reviewed how much Trust staff have been accessing CINAHL Plus we realised just how much the full text journal content was being used.
Consequently, we decided it is a resource we could not do without and have purchased a subscription to the database to allow staff to continue to access all the journals that were lost when the national funding was withdrawn.
You can now access all the full text journals online again, via the NICE Journals A-Z if you know the title of the journal you want (we have a handy guide on how to use it on our web site).
You can also find all the journals via a subject search using HDAS (Healthcare Databases Advanced Search) on the NICE Evidence Services site.
Of course you'll still need your OpenAthens password to access all the journals (and lots of other great resources) and you can get one here if you haven't already.

New and improved nursing and allied health database available

Where NHS staff previously had access to CINAHL with Full Text, for the new financial year we now have CINAHL Plus with Full Text, supplied by EBSCO.
That means access to an additional 146 full text electronic journals, with CINAHL Plus offering full access to a total of 775 nursing and allied health titles with content going back to 1937.
CINAHL Plus with Full Text is available to search through the NICE HDAS interface (along with all the other databases).
You can also access specific journal titles through the Journal A-Z list. You'll just need your OpenAthens password to access both (NHS staff and attached students can register here if they don't have one).

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).

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

Web site of the month: Educator Hub

The content, which is hosted on the Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH) Hub, includes both academic and video-based practical modules, such as supervision, feedback, workplace based assessments and Annual Review of Competence Progression (ARCP).
These have been migrated from HEE Kent, Surrey, Sussex's e-Training for Trainers (etft) platform together with London's Multi-professional Faculty Development modules. Complementary content from other regions will also be included to produce a national resource.
Modules are linked to the new 'Professional Development Framework for Educators' which is being adopted in London and South East in the first instance. The framework domains map to professional regulatory standards for education and training including HEE's Quality Framework standards and are applicable to all educators working in clinical practice and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as guidance for best practice.
Nearly 50 modules will be available initially, with complementary resources from elsewhere to be included in due course. All the resources are free to access (just browse the catalogue of modules). Registration with the site allows you to track your learning, provide feedback and keep copies of certificates of completion.

Web site of the month: Students 4 Best Evidence
![]() |
www.students4bestevidence.net |
Students 4 Best Evidence (S4BE) is an award-winning international blogging network for students interested in evidence based healthcare and supported by the Cochrane UK. Produced by nurses, medical students, AHPs and others, S4BE pulls together useful resources on evidence based healthcare and puts them all into a single interactive space.
S4BE is described as a community for students, by students, although in reality the content would be of equal interest to anyone with a focus on using evidence in their clinical practice.
The site aims to guide you through an understanding of what is evidence-based health care, how it is practised and what resources are available to support it. Sections of the site will take you through the whole evidence based practice cycle:
- Asking questions
- Searching for evidence
- Appraising research
- Acting on evidence
- Evaluating your practice
The site also has an interactive element and features blogs written by students as well as reviews of useful resources (websites, courses, databases etc). Students can also sign up to be a contributor to the site.
There are also a related social media sites including an S4BE Twitter & Facebook page, as well as a YouTube channel.
We think Students 4 Best Evidence is a really useful resource for students and anyone else who is interested in developing their skills in evidence based practice. Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍
