If you're looking to learn how to find published evidence in healthcare journals, we're running a series of training sessions over the next few months.
These cover the CINAHL, Medline and EMBASE databases and will help you to search effectively and access the full-text of articles. Some sessions are face-to-face, while others will take place over Microsoft Teams. These databases offer you the ability to do advanced searching using thesaurus teams as well as free-text searching - for more basic searches you could try the NHS Knowledge and Library Hub.
