NHS Evidence
What is NHS Evidence?
NHS Evidence is a service that enables access to authoritative clinical and non-clinical evidence and best practice through a web-based portal. It helps people from across the NHS, public health and social care sectors to make better decisions as a result. NHS Evidence is managed by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). Start your search on NHS Evidence.

Add an NHS Evidence search bar to your intranet or website
Organisations and Trusts can download an NHS Evidence search bar onto staff intranets and websites. This means that staff don't have to log on to a separate web page to search but can search for evidence direct from an organisation's homepage.
