In a nutshell: Provided by NICE, NHS Evidence is a new service which will develop, enhance and expand the services that were previously provided by the National Library for Health (NLH).

The Specialist Collections (previously known as Specialist Libraries) have been developed to identify and meet the information needs of particular communities of practice. They are web-based collections containing clinical and non-clinical information on the major health priority areas.

The majority of NHS Evidence Specialist Collections focus on particular health problems, such as Oral Health, Respiratory and Cardiovascular. A few NHS Evidence Specialist Collections focus on specific patient groups, such as Women's Health and Learning Disabilities. The focus of other NHS Evidence Specialist Collections is on aspects of health services, such as Commissioning, Public Health and Health Management.
