New and improved nursing and allied health database available

As part of the review of the National Core Content (electronic resources provided to all NHS staff in England), Health Education England have upgraded access to one of our nursing databases for 2018-19.

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).

New Cochrane Library website preview

The Cochrane Library, home of the Database of Systematic Reviews is relaunching its website. In advance of the final version, a preview site is currently available for viewing.

The preview site is fully functional (although you will not be able to save any searches), so you can have a look at the new enhancements on the site and even give Wiley feedback on the changes or any problems you may encounter.

TRIP Pro access extended for NHS staff in England

Health Education England have renewed the subscription for the premium version of TRIP until the end of March 2019.

If you aren't already familiar with it, TRIP is a UK clinical database designed to allow clinicians to find the best evidence to answer their clinical questions.

TRIP presents search results in a hierarchy based on the level of evidence, so you always see the highest quality information, for example, systematic reviews or metaanalysis, first (but you can sort the results by date or relevance too).

TRIP has an easy to use simple search, but TRIP Pro also offers two other ways to search in a more sophisticated way.

The advanced search option is very similar to the same feature in Google and allows you to combine search terms in different ways to find the information you want (including phrase searching, limiting by year and excluding words).

The PICO (Patient/Population Intervention Comparison Outcome) interface allows you easily break your search down into its most important elements which is really useful when answering a clinical question.

TRIP Pro is only accessible from an NHS computer (via its IP address). When accessing the site you should see the message about your account being provided by Health Education England as below.

TRIP is still accessible for free outside of the NHS, but with more limited search functionality.

A great resource for finding high quality health information, TRIP is a great starting point for any literature search...

Drinks machine at Richmond Library, NGH

The drinks machine at Richmond Library, Northampton General Hospital, will not be available over the Bank Holiday weekend. Library members who are intending to use the library should bring their own drinks. The machine has been dripping water and we didn't want another library flooded!

Easter opening

All the Libraries will be unstaffed on Friday the 30th of March and Monday the 2nd of April for the Easter holiday.



24 hour access will be available as usual to registered members over the Easter period via our swipe card system at the Berrywood and Richmond Libraries.

Isebrook Library will be closed over the bank holiday.

We reopen as normal on Tuesday the 3rd at all of our sites.

Isebrook Library re-opening Monday 26th March

Isebrook Library will be re-opening on Monday 26th March. We are still waiting on repairs being done after the water pipe burst so there are some carpet tiles missing but all our stock and computers are available for use. Until the pipe has been repaired there will be no water in the Library so visitors will have to use the toilets elsewhere in the hospital. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Isebrook Library closure update

The library is now dried out, but we are still waiting on the repairs to completed.

This means we know the library will remain closed until at least Friday the 23rd of March.

We will update you when have a definitive date.

Apologies or the ongoing inconvenience. 

WiFi at the Richmond Library

We have been trialing the use of (free) WiFi at the Richmond Library (many of our regular visitors have been making use of it for some time).

Users can now bring any device into the Library and connect to the guest WiFi. Access is free but does require you to enter your email address.

NHFT staff can also now connect their Trust device to the corporate WiFi and work remotely.

This means we are now able to offer both corporate and public WiFi access at all the library sites...
