The Lancet to become available free for all NHS staff
NHS and social care staff in England now have open access to the online version of The Lancet, thanks to an agreement between NICE and Elsevier to fund a national subscription.The move will save the NHS time and money as NHS organisations, and individual members of staff, will no longer need to take out their own subscriptions to the online and paper versions of The Lancet. This three-year agreement will provide all NHS staff who have an Athens password access to the latest copies of The Lancet, as well as back copies from the last four years, through NHS Evidence - the online service provided by NICE. Healthcare students following an NHS-commissioned education programme which involves practice and placement within the NHS across England will also have access under the agreement. Social care staff who meet the eligibility criteria will also be able to access The Lancet.
