NHS Evidence mentioned in HSJ

HSJ (21/8/08) mentions NHS Evidence (p7):
"Health minister Lord Darzi's plans for a web portal called NHS Evidence, for clinicians and managers to share best practice, would spread the take-up of NICE guidance, [Dr Gillian Leng] said.

NICE will lead work in establishing NHS Evidence, filling it with information on clinical care, drugs and research, in addition to help for commissioners in planning care pathways.

Dr Leng, who is also interim Chief Operating Officer for NHS Evidence, said, 'It will provide an efficient access point for staff to find out about evidence. We want it to be as easy to use and as used as Google'."
