Monday, 01 June, 2026

The Knowledge Network provides busy health and social care staff access to summarised, quality assured, up-to-date evidence in an easy to navigate format, so you can find the information you need when you need it.

A wide range of resources are available in one place, including:

• BMJ Best Practice
• DynaMed
• ClinicalKey
• Nursing and Allied Health Reference Source

Each offers unique strengths, helping you quickly find practical recommendations, explore research, and find robust references to inform day to day decisions. Whether you need a quick answer on a clinical topic or want to explore the evidence behind it, these resources are designed to save time and build confidence. They also support continuous professional learning and development, with opportunities to track your searches and reflect on your everyday practice.

PSD Scotland funds access to these resources, giving you a level of evidence and insight that goes far beyond what standard web searches or AI summaries can provide, supporting informed decision-making and high standards of care. All you need is your NHS Scotland OpenAthens account!
