We apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Accessing Ovid journals on the university network
Some NHS staff are experiencing problems accessing Ovid journals on the university network due to a change in how the library links to university online content via SFX and Shibboleth.
If you are experiencing this problem, log in via Athens to the NHS A-Z E-Journals list to locate your journal, as many Ovid journals are also listed here. If the Ovid journal you require is not listed on the NHS A-Z, then please email journals@sgul.ac.uk.

Search Tool for Orthopaedics
OrthoEvidence (www.myorthoevidence.com) is a search tool that focuses specifically on presenting high-quality evidence from within the field of orthopaedics. Visit the website to see latest evidence published in a range of orthopaedic related journals. Once you have registered with the site (free to join) you will have access to the full text of any reports featured on the site.
The website is designed to save the clinician time by

- creating a unique summary report (Advanced Clinical Evidence Report) which highlights the important take-home information.
