Journals – AmbuLearn

The journals for which access is provided using your OpenAthens account can be searched via the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and Health Education England (HEE) using their Journals and Databases search facility.

There are thousands of journals available free of charge with your NHS OpenAthens account which is useful when searching for a specific article using a database search, but not helpful when you just want to peruse the latest issue of a journal to look for interesting articles for your own CPD. To help with this, you can find selected high quality journals below that may contain articles of interest to you.
