Additional Resources and Support

Evidence Summaries

Evidence summaries are point of care decision support tools that make it quick and easy to get evidence into practice. They summarise high-quality evidence on different conditions, including practical advice around diagnosis and treatment options, into concise reference entries to help you find answers to clinical questions.

There are several evidence summary tools available via The Knowledge Network as part of our national library subscriptions, including BMJ Best Practice and DynaMed, which you may want to search for up-to-date information on conditions of interest.

Medicines Information

There are also several Medicines Information resources available via The Knowledge Network, including the BNF.

You may be interested in accessing these resources for up-to-date evidence and advice around the safe, efficient and effective use of medicines.

Literature Searching and Training

If you would like to request a literature search around a particular research topic or clinical question, or if you’d like to arrange training/support with using The Knowledge Network, subscription resources, or with literature searching, then please contact your local library service who will be happy to advise further.

NHS Forth Valley staff and partners can find more information about requesting services from the library on StaffNet, or get in touch with us by emailing fv.forthvalleylibraryservices@nhs.scot.
