Final product: • Simple hierarchical navigation • Full electronic indexing • “Meta-evidence” EBM search • Personalisation “My NeLH-PC” • Summaries of key papers for primary care • Key “know-how” for leaders in primary care
NeLH-PC Usage • Half-million hits per month • Commonest addresses • .nhs.uk • .ac.uk • Busiest days • Tues, Wed,Thurs • Busiest hours • UK Working day
