Embase – database for clinical information and medicines

Access

Embase contains a wide array of comprehensive, evidence-based medicine, drug and medical device efficacy studies. It has access to information on adverse drug events, drug efficacy studies, medical device and disease-related biomedical research information. 

The access for these citations is via Ovid Embase search using your NHS OpenAthens login. You can register for OpenAthens here.

Search for a subject:. Go to Ovid Embase and search for your topic. Please note that we do not subscribe to every journal indexed in Embase so some citations will not have a full text article available.

Once you have found an article you are interested in and it is available in full text, click on the  link on the right-hand side. If you can't find the full text please ask us for help. We may be able to find it for you or if not, we can source articles from other libraries for a small charge.
