Clinical Guidelines

NICE Guidance
NICE guidance sets the standards for high quality healthcare and encourages healthy living. Our guidance can be used by the NHS, Local     Authorities, employers, voluntary groups and anyone else involved in delivering care or promoting wellbeing.

SIGN Guidance
The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) develops evidence based clinical practice guidelines for the National Health Service (NHS) in Scotland. SIGN guidelines are derived from a systematic review of the scientific literature and are designed as a vehicle for accelerating the translation of new knowledge into action to meet our aim of reducing variations in practice, and improving patient-important outcomes.

NICE Evidence Search 
Managed by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), NICE Evidence Search provides access to authoritative clinical and 
non-clinical evidence and best practice.  

NICE Evidence Search Journals and Databases (Athens password required: how to get your password)
Access to electronic books and electronic journals, eight  healthcare databases (including Medline, CINAHL and PsycInfo), the Cochrane 
Library and the British Library Journals Table of Contents database.

The Cochrane Library
A collection of six databases that contain different types of high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making. 
Includes the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews - the leading resource for systematic reviews in health care, widely accepted as the 'gold standard' resource in terms of evidence-based healthcare information.
