NeLM is the largest medicines information portal for healthcare professionals in the UK National Health Service (NHS). It aims to promote the safe, effective and efficient use of medicines. This free service has been in operation since 1998 (originally as Druginfozone) and is updated daily. The site has a wide range of information products, including news, evidence-based reviews on drugs and drug therapy and health promotion material. It also provides a facility for sharing practice. Much of the current content is provided by the NHS pharmacy medicines information service (UKMi) – see ukmi.nhs.uk for more information about the network.
Most of the material is free to look at, although about 10% is for NHS England Athens users only. Some citations to articles will not have a direct link to our sign in page, so the best thing to do is to make a note of the citation and then look for the journal in Voyager.
