Clinical Resource Centre and Library 

OCTOBER 2003

The National Electronic Library for Health at http://www.nelh.nhs.uk will be inaugurating a new service for managers in health called hot topics which will summarise the evidence for currently interesting subjects. The first three hot topics are foundation hospitals, patient choice and financial flows. Check it out and let me know what you think of this service. In the interim the library has just linked to a regional network of journal holdings including the 1200 or so titles available on the Internet. This will speed up delivery of articles and information not held locally. Contact Beverley Walsh to find out more at [email protected].
