The Healthcare Library of Northern Ireland has just launched a new Pharmacy Current Awareness Service.

Designed to help HSCNI pharmacists and pharmacy professionals stay up to date with the latest research, this service brings together newly published articles each month from key pharmacy journals across a range of practice areas.  

You can subscribe to as many bulletins as you wish, allowing you to tailor updates to your professional interests.

Key features include:

• Updated monthly: Each bulletin contains recently published articles from leading pharmacy and healthcare journals and is available as a downloadable PDF or you can receive a monthly email alert.
• Ten pharmacy practice areas: Topics include clinical pharmacy, community pharmacy, hospital pharmacy, paediatric pharmacy, pharmacist education and training, and more.
• Email subscriptions: Subscribe to the bulletin(s) that interest you and receive a monthly email containing links to newly published articles for your chosen bulletin(s).  The form for choosing email bulletins is available here.
• Easy access to articles: Follow links to articles on publisher websites or via the Healthcare Library and, where full text is not openly available, you can easily request the article through the Healthcare Library.

If your colleagues would like to join the Healthcare Library to avail of this new service, the new membership form is available here.

If you have any feedback or questions about the service or would like to suggest additional pharmacy topics or journals for bulletins, please contact Patrick Elliott, Specialist Librarian for Pharmacy at patrick.elliott@healthcarelibrary.qub.ac.uk.
