National Library for Public Health

The National Library for Public Health is a specialist library of the National Library for Health. The National Library for Public Health replaces the Public Health Electronic Library (PHeL). The new National Library for Public Health will contain resources in line with the objectives of the white papers Choosing Health: making healthy choices easier and Our health, our care, our say.

The National Library for Public Health improves access to the evidence-base for public health and population-based commissioning. The library will become a core resource for commissioners as set out in the Department of Health Commissioning Framework document. Although there are gaps in the evidence-base, it is important that high quality individual pieces of existing research and systematic reviews are easily available to public health practitioners, service commissioners and the public.

The Association of Public Health Observatories (APHO) have been commissioned by the Department of Health as a deliverable of Informing Healthier Choices: Information and Intelligence for Healthier Populations strategy to develop a new National Library for Public Health. The project is being delivered by the North East Public Health Observatory (NEPHO) on behalf of APHO.
