NHS Evidence
Stand number: 59
NHS Evidence
NHS Evidence provides easy access to clinical and non-clinical information about health and social care. Founded on the principle that delivering high quality care requires high quality information and evidence, NHS Evidence will inform patient care, commissioning and service management as well as quality-assess the organisations that produce guidance and recommendations for practice.
NHS Evidence will:
- Provide comprehensive access to information in health and social care via a web-based portal.
- Commission the development of evidence-based information from external agencies, in line with user needs and priorities.
- Provide a central purchasing function to enable health professionals in the NHS to access journals and other relevant resources.
- Provide a formal accreditation scheme for defined categories of information such as clinical guidelines.
- Identify evidence reflecting best practice in particular topic areas to inform a range of user groups.
- Engage with users and stakeholders to support the use of evidence in decision-making, and to provide feedback to develop the service.
A key driver in developing the web-portal is that users should have confidence in the information they find on NHS Evidence. Only then can they use evidence to develop high quality health and social care services and treatment. That’s the thinking behind the development of an accreditation scheme. Rather than accredit the information itself, NHS Evidence accredits sources that produce information, testing and approving their processes. Information from an accredited source will be flagged up so that users will know it is high quality.
