NHS Education for Scotland

A skilled and sustainable workforce for a healthier Scotland

Knowledge Network (The)

The Knowledge Network is the national digital library for health and social care in Scotland. It is provided by the Knowledge Services team at NHS Education for Scotland.

The Knowledge Network is a completely integrated service providing health and social care staff with equitable access on a ‘Once for Scotland’ basis to an extensive evidence base.  This includes access to journals, print and online book collections, databases, and medicines information. The Knowledge Network also provides evidence summaries which make the latest evidence easily available to use at the point of care.  We aim to provide the right information at the right time to support the delivery of quality evidence-based health and social care in Scotland. 

Watch our video below to find out more about resources on The Knowledge Network.
