Essential Information Resources for Medicines Information Services

Resources for Purchase by NHS Medicines Information Services

This is a list of resources which should be considered for purchase (books, databases, websites/web-based resources, journals etc.). These resources are those needed for an MI service to provide a safe and efficient service to users. This list should be used in conjunction with ‘Resources with Free Access For NHS Medicines Information Services’ in order to provide a comprehensive service. Other UKMi resources give guidance on what resources to use for different enquiry types, e.g. UKMi workbook, Enquiry Answering Guidelines. There is also guidance on the risks associated with the use of various resources available in Limitations of Common Information Sources used by UKMi at: http://www.ukmi.nhs.uk/filestore/ukmiacg/LimitationsofCommonInformationSourcesv6- June2014_3.doc

The resources are organised into general subject categories. It is recognised that the requirements of individual MI centres (MICs) are different and will depend on the service offered by each centre, the size of the base hospital, and the nature of the Trust in which the unit is situated. Where this affects the holding of a resource, this is indicated. ISBN numbers are included when appropriate and approximate costs stated (see also UKMi Discounted Subscriptions section and Appendix 1 below). Editions and associated publication dates are also included. Resources are annotated ‘C’ or ‘A’ where: C = Core resources* for all MICs to hold (local and regional). A = Additional resources recommended to support services locally based on enquiry type and Trust speciality.

*For audit purposes, it is acceptable if you can justify not keeping a particular core resource due to:  Lack of relevant enquiry type received or  Appropriate relevant resources available elsewhere and easily accessible

When assessing your access to the following resources, you may wish to check http:// www.library.nhs.uk (or http:// www.knowledge.scot.nhs.uk in Scotland or http://www.wales.nhs.uk/ in Wales) to see if you have electronic access to the most up-to-date edition.

Costs and UKMi Discounted Subscriptions The UKMi Executive has negotiated a number of discounted subscriptions for resources. These are indicated in the list with *UKMi Deal*. Further details of discounts are provided in Appendix 1. For resources without a ‘UKMi deal’ costs may fluctuate so resources have been banded according to approximate cost where: £ = £1 - £50 ££ = £51 - £100 £££ = £101 - £150 ££££ = £151 - £300 £££££ = >£300

Updating the List The Essential Resources list will be updated with new editions etc. on an ongoing basis and details of any updated resources will be published on the ‘MI News’ section of the UKMi website. The Clinical Governance Working Group will formally review the contents of the Essential Resources

Date: February 2015 1 list annually. The revised list will be published on the UKMi website. Updates to the list will be reflected in the MiDatabank master list.

Suggestions for additions/deletions or general comments on this document can be forwarded to [email protected] or via your Regional Centre.
