From the 1st of April the provision of the
Medline and PsychInfo databases, as part of the NHS Core Content, will be
delivered via ProQuest and not Ovid.
Changes will be made to the NHS HDAS interface to run
searches on these 2 databases via ProQuest instead of Ovid.
As a consequence of these changes, any searches (and
associated alerts) saved within HDAS by users, which use these databases or
search across databases, will be lost.
You are advised to export your search information in order
to retain it. You can then re-create the search, and alert, when the new
interface is implemented.

You can find more help on using
HDAS in our guide.
Note for users who use the Ovid interface directly.
If you use the Ovid interface directly to save searches, and
set up alerts, on Medline or PsychInfo you will also lose access to your saved
searches. Ovid are investigating whether searches can be exported to ProQuest
but you are advised to export any saved searches and alerts as a precaution.
