PubMed for Handhelds 
Physicians and researchers can have difficulty keeping up with the continuing expansion of medical information, novel diagnostic tools, and therapeutic discoveries reported in the medical literature. They need to access relevant information when they need it and where they are -- for example at the point of care.  PubMed for Handhelds can help inform clinical decisions.

Apple users must have iOS 6.0 or later on their device.  Although PubMed4Hh continues to be available, you may find that it does not work well on newer mobile devices.    You may prefer to simply use the web version of PubMed -- as of 2020, it is optimized for handheld devices.

What Our Library Users Are Saying...

"Apprentices now have greater access to resources, not only at College or University but in the workplace. The benefits are not solely logistical; the resources and services available to them via the Library & Knowledge Service are current, relevant and varied."

"The library provided me with the evidence base to support a service development of developing a early discharge detox policy. This has improved patient clinical outcomes. This also reduces length of stay and re-attendance at A&E."

"Literature searches carried out by the library staff assisted in the development of a new education program for unregistered staff in response to the Francis report."

"The library carried out a literature search and provided my team with a wealth of relevant information from a variety of different sources that we were able to use within our poster presentation."  


"The information I receive has a positive impact in my role as a Non-Executive Director. Over the past year in post I have found the library alerting service to be an invaluable resource it is a great way to be kept informed via the on-line platform that I can access at times to suit."
