Ovid Search Guide

Ovid is a specialist search tool. It allows you to perform sophisticated literature searches in databases such as Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, Maternity and Infant Care and Global Health. Where available, your subject guide will tell you which databases are most relevant to your topic.

It is best to plan your search and identify suitable search terms before using the database.  For guidance on how to plan a search, please see the principles of effective literature searching library guide.

Although this guide is predominately aimed at City St George's staff and students, NHS staff also have access to Medline, Amed, Embase and other databases through the Ovid platform - login with your  NHS OpenAthens account for access.
