Evidence Search
We offer a specialised evidence search service. Just let us know the information you require and we can do the searching for you. We carry out searches using databases such as Medline, CINAHL, Embase and The Cochrane Library to find the best available evidence to support you in your work or study.
Who is this service available too?
The evidence service search is available to all Derbyshire Community Health Services employees.
