NICE Evidence Resources Update Following the launch of new HDAS on Monday 17th October and as part of our plans to support the transition of users over to the new system, users will not be able to save searches in old HDAS from Tuesday 1 November 2016. _________________________________________________________________________ You are strongly advised to migrate your save searches and alerts as soon as possible. The new HDAS works differently from old HDAS and some searches / alerts may not work and will need to be re-worked in new HDAS. Please give yourselves time to do this.

NHS Athens users can now use their Athens username / password to access elearning modules provided via e-Learning for Heathcare  (e-LfH). The e-LfH programme is provided by Health Education England, in partnership with the NHS and professional bodies. Programmes are arranged according to specialty. Select the “OpenAthens” log in option and log in with your NHS Athens username. You will be prompted to set up an e-LfH account. This is to allow the system to keep a record of the programmes you have completed. This account will be linked to your Athens username, so you can always log in using your NHS Athens username. Please refer any queries to the e-LfH team .

You can now access our Clinical Key features blog entries and videos on one place, via our etutorial Using Clinical Key . Clinical Key is available to UHNM staff via their NHS Athens username.
