Access to CINAHL (Nursing & Allied Health) database

If you use the CINAHL Nursing & Allied Health Database to find research literature, via the NHS Wales E-Library for Health (www.wales.nhs.uk/ehl) or via the Athens service (www.athensams.net/myathens), please note that CINAHL is no longer available via the OVID SP service.

You'll now find CINAHL available using a new service called EbscoHost, which you can access via the NHS Wales E-Library for Health or via Athens. You will need to have an Athens username to use this new version of CINAHL, so please contact the Library if you need an Athens username or your current Athens username has expired.

I'm sorry about the sudden change in access to CINAHL, but we've only just found out ourselves about the change - the NHS Libraries weren't expecting the change to happen for sometime yet. I'm hoping we'll have a user guide for the new version of CINAHL available very soon, but in the meantime, if you have problems using the new version of CINAHL please contact the Library on (01874) 712576 or email
powys.library@powyslhb.wales.nhs.uk.
